I did not create a separate /tmp filesystem so I would guess /tmp is part o=
f
root. I will symlink it to /var/tmp (if it's not already).
Thanks I'll enable soft-updates and try. It's odd though because
soft-updates are turned off by default on the root FS (when you are
partitioning during install). Also I was under the impression soft-updates
would actually require a little more disk access time and thus make the
problem slightly worse.
I am open to try it, but I'm not sure why it would help.
I wouldn't say I have frequent outages, but enough to be very annoying on
this particular system because console/vga access is difficult.
Thank you,
