I read the thread that lead to your change, it seemed reasonable to me. I was trying to get a bit more of a feel for what was happening before raising a PR. >(/var isn't a tmpfs on your system is it? So what is the connection?) No, /var is a partition on the single HD. There is a tmpfs on /var/shm and one on /tmp. The machine that hangs isn't running X11 but it is running a postgresql server which creates a couple of files in /tmp. Robert Swindells
