Anne Wilson: > Will the old /tmp be quietly ignored when I reboot? What was your old /tmp then? If it was merely a directory in the root, then the mount point (on top of it) usurps it. The mount point will be used instead. But the contents that were already in the /tmp directory will still be there; albeit hidden, even if they are occupying drive space. I'd, first, boot up in single user mode and wipe out any files in the /tmp directory. No need to reboot after that, just telinit up to the run level you want to work out. If your old /tmp was a mount point, you'd be taking it away and using your new one *instead*. Don't try to have two of them. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
