Why don't you just make a > seperate /tmp mount, then set it to be one of the early mounted filesystems? If the file is already open, there won't be a problem. If another process tries to open that same file, it won't be able to after /usr is mounted. A side effect is that the file will take up space on the root partition, but you won't be able to see it or remove the file, unless you unmount /usr. On the systems that I've set up, /tmp has always been a seperate filesystem. ----- jeff@jeffenstein.org http://www.jeffenstein.org Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
