What is your /tmp? Possibilities: 1. swap-backed /tmp (useful). Use of swap hits free space in /tmp 2. a fairly traditional practice of creating a /tmp file, and unlinking it immediately (while holding a file open on it). temp files are thus cleaned up automatically when the program exits. fstat /tmp to find the latter. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Not as randy or clumsom as a blaster.
