Could you try this again, but without the trailing slash? The goal is to check if /tmp is itself a symlink; with the trailing slash, this looks at the pointed-to directory, which is not what we want. i.e. "ls -ld /tmp". > So I am all confused. But to prove that /tmp _is_ on tmpfs, here it is: > > rrs@champaran:~$ ln x.sh /tmp/ > ln: failed to create hard link `/tmp/x.sh' => `x.sh': Invalid > cross-device link This is just showing that ~ and /tmp are on separate filesystems-- it's not saying anything about tmpfs directly; it could just be that /home is a separate mount from /. Run "stat" on / and /tmp and this will tell you if they are different (look at the Device numbers). > Would systemd have anything to do with this? I am running systemd. Possibly. systemd does not use any of the initscripts logic to mount filesystems; I'm not even sure it respects RAMTMP--it might not even look at it. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
