Why hasn't anyone yet advised the OP to put /tmp and /var onto a separate, dedicated partition? That would solve the whole problem without all these struggles.
I can't remember where I got that advice from --wasn't it on this list several years ago?

There is another solution to the /tmp filling up problem that I noticed on this list a while back and that is an entry in fstab that creates /tmp in ram. This will obviously chew up a bit of ram but if you have it to spare, your /tmp and if you link them to /tmp any other temporary directories will empty whenever the computer is powered off. I haven't ram to spare otherwise I would have done this already. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
