The /tmp-symlink problem made me switch from symlinking to another way of doing the same configuration: mount the real location at /tmp/ with --bind. A line like this in fstab does this: /var/TMP /tmp auto auto,bind 0 0 The /tmp-symlink problem made me switch from symlinking to another way of doing the same configuration: mount the real location at /tmp/ with --bind. A line like this in fstab does this: /var/TMP /tmp auto auto,bind 0 0 Thanks, it\'s overall cleaner (but won\'t work on Linux 2.2 which is in wide use). Probably worth adding if not to the email sent along with this \"problem\" then to documentation? edited on: 13-12 18:14 Thanks, it\'s overall cleaner (but won\'t work on Linux 2.2 which is in wide use).

OTOH: if /tmp itself is a symlink then either we\'ve got bigger problems or it\'s _normal_. 2: complains regarding \"inappropriate data type\" or smth along that, can\'t quote the message as it\'s (sleepily) deleted. The file in question was 7G sized but that should be *perfectly* ok. edited on: 15-12 19:46 1: ok (but then add the --bind recipe to doc?
