Why mount to /mnt/drive2/tmp and symlink?
Why not just mount it to /tmp ?
You don't *have* to mount drives to /mnt =)
That way, if you have a problem mounting drive2, /tmp will still be
writeable (even if only a few megs are available on that disk). If you
made a symlink, then /tmp would be dangling and trouble would ensue.
