Hi all...
What is the reason for a .tmp directory in the databases directory
tree, is there something I've neglected?
My guess is that /tmp is not always very big, or may be used as swap
space, or may be implemented as a memory-resident filesystem. /var/tmp
is often bigger, but the best bet is probably to make your own tmp dir,
as grass does.
