I don't know about a Convex, but be carefull doing this on Ultrix. We tried this under Ulrix 3.1 on a production machine. We knew there were files under the mounted /tmp partition that were filling up the root partition. We didn't want to take down the machine to fix this so we exported the root partion and mounted it on /mnt. This seemed to work for a little while untill we deleted the files. I'm not sure of the exact order of things after that, but the kernel seemed to become very confused, and then ultimately crashed or hung. -- Steve. sfreed@ariel.unm.edu
