I've been trying to move /tmp from the root filesystem to a different (larger) filesystem. But /tmp is filled with WEIRD FILES put there by XFree86. I think these are Unix domain sockets; they have permissions like: srwxrwxrwx (I call them 'weird files' because I've never seen them before, not because they are weird, per se.) XFree86 fails to load (it destroys the keyboard/display) if I mv /tmp to /tmp.old. It loads properly when I move /tmp back. I *cannot* mv /tmp to a different filesystem because I get an "Operation not permitted" on all of the sockets. Why are these files persistent? Can they be moved? Shouldn't XFree86 successfully recreate them when I startx? As you can see, maybe I haven't even honed in on the proper questions... -- 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
