If for whatever reason you want to have only one (e.g., you have a monitoring system that gets confused otherwise, like myself), and you have a >2.4 kernel, you can do this in /etc/fstab as a work-around: tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/shm /tmp none rw,bind 0 0 You can't just use the bind mount (the second line) because that will happen before /dev/shm is mounted by the init script. This may seem to work, but only because you're using the directory /dev/shm (i.e., usually part of the root filesystem) instead of the tmpfs filesystem. So instead you mount /dev/shm in fstab (which the init script checks for), and bind-mount that to /tmp. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
