The aim is to boost the performance by removing the need for disk writes for temporary files. After a read of the mdmfs/mount_mfs man page I constructed the following: md /var/spool/MIMEDefang mfs rw,async,noexec,nosuid,nosymfollow,-M,-s256m,-p0700,-wmailnull:mailnull 2 0 That would mount the file system with the required owner and permissions, so I thought. However the mount_mfs command doesn't support the -p or -w flags and I get the usage error: usage: mfs -C [-NU] [-a maxcontig] [-b block-size] [-c cylinders] [-d rotdelay] [-e maxbpg] [-F file] [-f frag-size] [-i bytes] [-m percent-free] [-n rotational-positions] [-O optimization] [-o mount-options] [-s size] md-device mount-point Is there any way to achieve this? Because it defaults to 1777 for the permissions Sendmail is complaining (rightly) on startup about a world writable directory. I did RTFM, trawl the list archive and the web, but found nothing to help. TIA Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
