Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/tmp - /var/tmp a problem with new udev?
I have this symlink on a new ~amd64 install without a separate /usr and the latest udev and have no issues at all. I don't use a initramfs or anything on this install either. fwiw On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 8:47 AM, Allan Gottlieb gottl...@nyu.edu wrote: I realize that new udev without dracut wants /usr part of root filesystem. The last few gentoo installations I have done all had /usr/tmp symlinked to /var/tmp and I don't believe I did this symlink manually. Will this be a problem with new udev and no dracut or are the programs that must run early trained not to use /usr/tmp? thanks, allan -- Douglas J Hunley (doug.hun...@gmail.com) Twitter: @hunleyd Web: douglasjhunley.com G+: http://goo.gl/sajR3

I thought /usr/tmp is mostly for compatibility with ancient Unixes. Even in the FHS it is a may be present clause. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
