Today I decided to move /tmp from the root filesystem to /usr/tmp. I did this because I got a "filesystem full" message after mutt tried to close a very large mbox. I decided that /tmp should be a symlink to /usr/tmp... Here's what I did: # cd / # cp tmp /usr # mv tmp tmp.old # ln -s /usr/tmp tmp Unfortunately, I did not boot into single user mode; in fact, I did this within XWindows. Sure it seems like a stupid thing now... Of course, my X session got a little flaky on me. After a reboot, I am now unable to run startx. The screen goes black, the keyboard shuts off... How do I begin to clean up my mess?? -- Christopher Farley Northern Brewer / 1150 Grand Avenue / St. Paul, MN 55105 www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
