Lei, the article you cited above is about as detailed as it needs to be. It's the very same one I used a while ago to move my /tmp into RAM. If it's not working, let us know what happens - "no luck to get it working" isn't very useful as a statement of your symptoms! ;-) Ideally, tell us what `uname -a' says, and any salient extracts from your messages log file, any errors/warnings generated if you try to mount the memory disk manually, etc. Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3B9D 8BBB EB03 BA83 5DB4 3B88 86FC F03A 90A1 BE8F _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \
