Yes, and I want /tmp mounted in memory using ramdisk. When
I shutdown, memory gets emptied and I was just wondering if
all those directories and files:
[root@borg /]# ls -a /tmp
. doex1095 doex4910 smt.tmp
.. doex13739 doex776
nsform328E8DF130F06C3
.X0-lock doex17990 doex9253
nsform328E8DFC31006C3
.X11-unix doex2155 doex9327 psdevtab
.axsc13 doex22552 glint.gif screens
.cdaudio doex28088 html.ag tksysv
will be re-created automatically on the next system bootup,
or do I need to run a script in order to re-create them
with "mkdir" and "touch" and if yes, which ones and in what
consequence. That's why I also asked about a recommended
size for /tmp.
