You mean you want /tmp to be a regular ZFS filesystem instead of a tmpfs one. Yes, that's possible. There is no dedicated disk back end for tmpfs, only swap (which may include disk-based backing store). > When I do regular creation of rpool/tmp without setting any mountpoint > options and entry in vfstab i'm dropped into single user, because > fs-local service cannot mount the rpool/tmp fs. > What I could do is set the mount point to legacy and describe it in > vfstab for mounting so that tmpfs entry does not get blocked. You mean so the /tmp entry doesn't get blocked (it won't be a tmpfs entry if you do this). Do you need a /tmp entry at all for this? If you just set the mountpoint to be /tmp (leave it out of vfstab entirely), then I think it'll work, but it won't be available until all the ZFS filesystems mount. I'll have to try that and see if anything breaks. -- Darren _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
