But to not break things, call the new directory /mounts and define a /mounts/tmp for the purpose /mnt has nowadays in FreeBSD. In addition declare the use of /mnt deprecated and within only ten generations of sysadmins we're able to substitute /mnt completely by /mounts. :-) As for the name itself, it should be something not used already. If the beginning letter was unique within / this would be good for shell's tab completion. Only saved keystrokes are good keystrokes. :-) So I suggest /pulp. Easy to remember and if CD standards can be called "Rock Ridge", there is no real argument against it. :-) Ciao Siegbert
