It's where "found" data is placed during an fsck. The question, for Rahul, is this: Did you create a separate filesystem for /tmp, and is it mounted? From your description, I'd say that you need to: A) Mount /tmp B) Add /tmp to your /etc/fstab file, so that it's mounted on your next reboot. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
