Don't set up /var on MFS, it holds stuff that has to be preserved across reboots. To set up /tmp on a MFS (for this one boot), do like so: # mv /tmp /tmp.old # mkdir /tmp # MD=`mdconfig -a -t swap -s XXXm` # replace XXXm with size # newfs /dev/$MD # mount /dev/$MD /tmp # unset MD It will disappear when the system goes down. -- Josh > > > > > Thx > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
