It there a trick to mounting /var &/or /tmp on a second drive? I've got
a sparc running 1.6 with the following in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd1a /tmp ffs rw 1 2
/dev/sd1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd1g /home ffs rw 1 2
All boots well but if I try to startx I get an error stating "can't
mkdir /tmp/.X11-unix" (or something to that effect). Eliminating the
/tmp entry in /etc/fstab fixes the problem. Maybe some sort of FS
integrity thing?
