I have this in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sd1b /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,-s=524288 0 0 but be careful... normally you can only have a 64meg mfs unless you increase the datasize limit to be larger than 64megs... I build my kernel with: options "MAXDSIZ=(512*1024*1024)" options "DFLDSIZ=(512*1024*1024)" so that I can have: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on mfs:26 254319 62731 171243 27% /tmp note that the -s option specifies the size of the fs in 512byte blocks... there is an option to have the mfs /tmp backed by a file (so if you reboot your machine, your /tmp contents are saved, not sure if this hurts performane or not) which helps prevents lose of data... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
