I followed the automatic suggestions for slices at install time and now have a /tmp folder of 500M. This fills up at odd times and I was hoping to install a second drive and mount a section of it as /tmp. So far I managed to get a second drive partitioned. I replaced the slice in /etc/fstab for /tmp with one of the new partitions (in this case, ad1s1c). KDE would not start because it did not have the permissions for /tmp any more, so I put the following entries in /etc/devfs.conf: own /dev/ad1s1c root:wheel perm /dev/ad1s1c 0777 own /tmp root:wheel perm /tmp 0777 That didn't work. I initially tried with 0666 but that failed as well. The 0777 did not seem like a good long-term solution anyway. So... Is what I am doing possible? And what is the intelligent way to go about it? Thanks, Oliver
