There is a directory in / called tmp on which you mount the /tmp filesystem.
If you unmount /tmp, there will still be a /tmp, but probably containing no files. So the find command will output /tmp even with the -xdev option, but not its contents. I think that every time something is written to /tmp, the /tmp directory modification timestamp is modified. Am I right on this ? On 8/11/06, Romanowski, John (OFT) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Anyone know why the /tmp directory's time-stamp changes so frequently and is only a few minutes old? /tmp is another file system on the server. drwxrwxrwt 32 root root 4096 Aug 11 12:16 tmp
