Hello,
   I'm running NetBSD-1.5 on a P4 with 1GB of memory.  I keep getting "file 
system full" messages when /tmp overflows rebuilding the locate 
database.  Since I typically only use 100 to 200 MB of physical memory 
while running, I'm considering creating a 256MB MFS drive mounted as 
/tmp.  My questions are:

1)  When is the best time to do this?  In /etc/fstab or in /etc/rc.local?

2)  How do I do this?  I've been trying various incantations but haven't 
gotten mount_mfs to work yet.  The man page doesn't have an example...

3)  Is this a good idea or should I just symlink /tmp to 
/really_big_and_empty/tmp?  It seems that using MFS would result in faster 
process execution....


Thanks in advance
