Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The hier(7) man page says /tmp/ temporary files, usually a mfs(8) memory-based filesystem ... On my vanilla FreeBSD 4.1 system, doing "df /tmp" yields: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 49583 27725 17892 61% / which seems to indicate that /tmp is still on /. Also, I see no reference to mfs in my /etc/fstab file. So, I'm wondering if the man page is incorrect or what... -r -- -- Rich Morin: rdm@cfcl.com, +1 650-873-7841, http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Prime Time Freeware: info@ptf.com, +1 408-433-9662, http://www.ptf.com MacPerl: http://www.macperl.com, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MPPE MkLinux: http://www.mklinux.org, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MKLP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
