Using MFS or not using it is a policy decision. I've got machines where i wanna make sure that /tmp is preserved across reboots. Yes, i know that this is not the common policy, but establishing a script that would effectively prevent /tmp being a real disk filesystem would take away part of the freedom the local admin otherwise has. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
