On a reasonably fast system, I prefer using the gcc -pipe option myself. However, if you love MFS temporary files, I offer this from the gcc (1) manual page on FreeBSD 3.4: > TMPDIR comes from the environment variable TMPDIR (default > /usr/tmp if available, else /tmp). > I unsure why you think gcc uses /var/tmp. In any case, assuming /tmp is MFS, a simple update to login.conf for TMPDIR would negate the need to mount the /var/tmp as MFS as well. -ahd- -- Drew Derbyshire Internet: ahd+sig@kew.com Kendra Electronic Wonderworks Voice: 1-781-279-9812 Who me?
