Hi Paul, |
| 49 |
Yes, ls -al shown nothing is there. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Actually, I think the root cause of this is a little different than |
| 52 |
I expected. /tmp/jack is actually something that's mounted: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
lightning ~ # df |
| 55 |
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on |
| 56 |
<SNIP> |
| 57 |
none 508016 0 508016 0% /tmp/jack |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
and the root cause of that is that it's in my fstab file: |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
lightning ~ # cat /etc/fstab | grep jack |
| 62 |
none /tmp/jack tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 63 |
lightning ~ # |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
So, there are three directions to go: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
1) Remove it from fstab and figure out what the repercussions of that |
| 68 |
action might be. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
2) Understand why the Gentoo boot process want to wipe mounted |
| 71 |
directories in /tmp since it won't work. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
3) Go back to ignoring it. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
I'm going to investigate #1 first as this is something that I think |
| 76 |
is left over from years ago, but maybe you or someone else has another |
| 77 |
idea. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
Thanks, |
| 80 |
Mark |
