Hi, i have a few question regarding the structure of /var and /tmp in 2.0-R (or BSD 4.4 in general): When installing from scratch 2.0-R comes up with drwxr-xr-x /tmp drwxrwxrwx /var/tmp In my opinion /tmp should be also drwxrwxrwx.... hier(8) says that /tmp ist for non permanet temps while /var/tmp ist for temps which should be kept between system reboots. That's ok but cc tends to use /var/tmp (I've not set TMPDIR or anything like that) Why?? Is ist possible to use mfs for tmp? mount(8) states something like mount -t mfs -o -N,-s=4000 /dev/sd0b /tmp (why the -N switch??) How large should /tmp be? Is mfs wortwhile on a machine with 8MB memory?? Is it stable?? thanx in advance Charly Jan (Charly) Conrad | e-mail: Jan.Conrad@Fachschaften.TU-Muenchen.DE Fachschaft Math/Phys/Info | Tel.: (089) 2105-2997 Studentische Vertretung | FAX: (089) 280 20 88 (via AStA) TU-Muenchen | (089) 2105-2996 (via FS Maschinenbau) 80290 Muenchen | Telex: 52 28 54 tumue d Germany |
