Smile replacing corrupt /tmp dir..
dear unix members...
i have just got done dealing with the worst problem i have dealt with in my two years of unix... on my fedora core 3 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux... the /tmp directory went stale about a month ago.. i had both gnome desktop anf kde installed gnome-conf died... i couldn't resolute the problem although i came close.. so i reinstalled, repartitioned, formatted, configured and reconnected.. it took me 16 hours to recover all files intact from devices, partitions and remote accounts and recondition the system back to its original state with an update from red-hat.com.... anyway to make a long story short: " there must be an easier way!" ... like recreating /tmp from scratch or fscking i.. ..................is there an easier way and what is it..?
any feedback welcome...
