| + | ====== Localtmp ====== | ||
| + | Most of our Linux servers/desktops will have a partition mounted to ''%%localtmp%%''. When we install Linux, most of the hard drive on a server or desktop will go to this partition. It is meant to be local scratch disk space, available for all users, that will persist across Operating System upgrades/re-installation. If we need to "reimage" a server, this partition will //not// be erased and anything stored on this partition will be in the same place after reimaging. | ||

| + | **This data is not backed up**. Anything that you delete from this partition can not be recovered. Also bear in mind that every storage device will eventually fail, in the event of a hard drive failure we will **not** be able to recover data from this partition. | ||
