I gave up on this thread when I saw the cryptic and useless "What you say doesn't work for me, but something else does" but now that you've explained what you think works, I have to add that you've made very little sense throughout this thread and that your problem cannot have been the migration of "/tmp" to tmpfs. If your server could run in the past with "/tmp" as a directory on "/", it cannot be that setting "RAMTMP=no" in "/etc/default/rcS" wouldn't solve whatever (hopefully non-philosophical) problem you have with "/tmp" as a tmpfs mount. You must have a new or upgraded application that's using "/tmp" differently, or are using the system differently. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
