Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
