(I have always > done this.) Processes that need to make use of /tmp during the boot process, but before /usr is mounted will bomb out. This may keep the system from booting, etc.... The standard solution is to have a small /tmp on root, use that during the booting phase, and at the end of that, nfs mount /usr/tmp on top of that. Of course, one shouldn't leave any file open on the original /tmp. There are other ways to accomplish similar effects, for instance, mount_union. jaap To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
