$ mkdir /tmp WFFM - i.e. Works Fine For Me > Any ideas, thought, etc. are much appreciated. As the Windows environment is visible as: $ set | grep TEMP TEMP=/cygdrive/d/TEMP TMP=/cygdrive/d/TEMP TMPDIR=/cygdrive/d/TEMP i.e. *I* do have D: (/cygdrive/d/) as Windows TEMP storage. It actually also holds all active page/swapfiles. It might be possible to $ rmdir /tmp $ ln -s ${TEMP} /tmp or maybe $ rm -rf /tmp $ mkdir /tmp $ mount -f -s -b "`cygpath -w ${TEMP}" "/tmp" I've tried none of the last two...
