No disk activity is involved when the temporary files on the MFS are in use. (This slightly false if the MFS is paged out or swapped out completely.) If I want something preserved between reboots, I'll use /var/otmp which is the original /var/tmp or my own ~/tmp directory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@gtf.ol.no Merkantilvegen 59HB7, | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no N-2815 GJØVIK, NORWAY |+47 61139424 || +47 63874242 Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 3.4 & Pine 4.10 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
