The following reply was made to PR conf/18461; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Gregory Bond <gnb@itga.com.au> To: clefevre@citeweb.net Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: conf/18461: vi.recover misplaced in /var/tmp Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 17:36:14 +1000 > vi.recover should not be in /var/tmp. imagine the case > where /var/tmp is a memory filesystem. upon reboot, > everything is lost. On the contrary, /var/tmp is exactly the right spot for vi.recover, because /var/tmp is -explicitly documented- to remain over reboots. See "man hier". Anyone who uses mfs for /var/tmp is just plain wrong. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
