By making it configurable, obviously. NFS users are going to have to specify where to find large fast temporary storage anyway. For example, I was once at a site where there was a special directory set aside for precisely this purpose (the local filesystem had no spare space to speak of, so /var/tmp was not an option). > > tmpreaper is to clean up stale locks and stuff like that.

A million files is normal. Large files is not, the sysadmin should be finding those users and kicking them until they are educated. When some idiot fills /tmp, the other million users who created those tiny files discover that their applications have all stopped working. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
