i thought i installed my system right, and when i typed "df -h" the machine told me i had three mounted partitions: filesystem size used avail use mounted on /dev/hda3 1.4g 747m 627m 55% / tmpfs 1.0m 116k 908k 12% /mnt/.init.d /dev/hdb1 37g 33m 34g 1% /var/spool/mail but then i went poking around in /etc/fstab and found this: # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm... # ... # ... # ... # ... # tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 so i thought "uncomment that tmpfs line... 'cause that /mnt/.init.d doesn't look right"... and so i rebooted my machine and now "df -h" gives me this: filesystem size used avail use mounted on /dev/hda3 1.4g 747m 627m 55% / tmpfs 1.0m 116k 908k 12% /mnt/.init.d /dev/hdb1 37g 33m 34g 1% /var/spool/mail tmpfs 23m 0 22m 0% /dev/shm so now i have two tmpfs's... which one is right? if the bottom one is right, how do i get rid of the top one? and where's my swap? thanks for all the help out there... _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer it must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. for the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely the lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones. - machiavelli
