I wouldn't suggest that. You can't guarantee that /usr will be mounted at boot when you might need to write to /tmp, unless you put /usr on / as well. Much better would be to make /tmp a separate filesystem, either softupdates or mfs. At least that way, you could write to the /tmp mount point before /tmp is mounted, and although you'd have to be careful to clean out the mount point periodically (otherwise / could mysteriously run short on space), you'd at least be able to ensure that /tmp would be writable early in the boot process. -- Brad Knowles <brad@shub-internet.org> <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/>; <http://wwwkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE38CCEF1>; Your mouse has moved.
