I tried copying ls, find, emacs onto /tmp and ran them from there. Works fine for me in 3.3-stable. But there's something odd in your mounts: > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > ... > mfs:61 3935 1431 2190 40% /var > /var/tmp 3935 1431 2190 40% /tmp You're remounting a subdir of /var onto /tmp? Wouldn't a symlink be a better choice here? That is, don't mount /var/tmp onto /tmp. Instead, make /tmp a symlink that points to /var/tmp. Try that and see if you still get the crashes. But I'm still wondering about running binaries from ext2fs. I got a panic when I tried this (with a linux binary). I wouldn't think of running programs from a msdos fs, but why not ext2fs? Is this supported, or has anyone else tried running linux or freebsd binaries from an ext2fs partition? --Mark Krentel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
