I don't know anything about tmpfs, but I do know a thing or two about symlinks. Most likely symlinks don't work for whatever reason you can't create a file with content: libdiskfs defaults to storing the target filename as the content of the symlink file. It could also fail later if it can't set passive translators. For more information, see: http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/hurd/translator/short-circuiting/ Regards, Fredrik
