[Bug 932598] Re: Full hard drive causes xorg and desktop to fail to load

[Martin Pitt]

In earlier versions our sysvinit scripts mounted a tmpfs on /tmp if
there was less than 1 MB free. I think we lost this. We should either
consider making /tmp a tmpfs all the time, or at least bring back this
fallback mode.

** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- Full hard drive causes xorg and desktop to fail to load
+ Full hard drive causes xorg to fail to load
