Something (and I've not yet investigated closely what) is writing to
(or at least accessing) /var/tmp for each kernel source file[1] that
is compiled on my box. I quote from hier(7):
/var/ multi-purpose log, temporary, transient, and spool files
tmp/ temporary files that are kept between system reboots
I'm not able to find any reference to var/tmp in the gcc sources (and
I have none in my environment).
Does anybody have a clue where this would be coming from? It seems
clearly wrong, at least. (I noticed this as I'd placed /var/tmp on a
slow disk because I knew it wasn't supposed to be used much, and
noticed that the disk was being accessed all the time, clearly slowing
down my compiles).
[1] I've not tested with other sources yet.
Eivind.
