Sandford) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Using mfs for /tmp Date: 27 Oct 1995 15:47:02 GMT Organization: Paradise Green Technical Services Lines: 12 Message-ID: <46qutm$fr@prds-grn.demon.co.uk> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.demon.co.uk X-NNTP-Posting-Host: prds-grn.demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am trying to use mfs for my /tmp directory but I can't get it to work. From reading the man page, I assumed I wanted something like mount -t mfs /dev/sd0b /tmp (/dev/sd0b is my primary swap partition). However this reports "operation not supported by device". Could someone show me the error of my ways please? -- Thomas Sandford | t.d.g.sandford@prds-grn.demon.co.uk
