[mdlug] Bringing up Linux with Suckless Init plus daemontools-encore

[JeremyBekka C]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to help here.

I am running out of space in /tmp on the host. Here are the results of the
command you gave me:

df -h /tmp
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5       6.1G  5.3G  411M  93% /

I am not really sure what to do with the sshfs problem. I have never done
anything with SSH on this computer. Everything is default from Openrc
Manjaro. I checked to see if I have sshfs installed and I do. I tried to
mount a couple of different directories but got the same results. I changed
the user ID to root and jeremy at manjaro with no luck. I am not sure what
else to do since I have never done anything with ssh before. I will do some
searching and see what I can come up with.

Jeremy
