Why put /var/log on tmpfs? Surely having logs after a reboot or failure is useful? If you don't want logs locally, have syslog send them somewhere else, but I don't see any point in putting them on a tmpfs filesystem. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
