If that's true then somebody has ****ed up! /tmp is specified as "files may disappear at any time" /var/tmp is specified as "temporary storage that should survive a reboot" Okay, that's not the exact wording, but that is the effect. > > If your system is that low on RAM, you might want to change that to a > different location that is backed by a real disk. > The other thing about default tmpfs, is it defaults to half of ram. So it could actually be quite small. I explicitly set mine to be big, because I configure oodles of swap. Cheers, Wol
