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.
