Is there actually 'anyone out there' that does this? Isn't a temporary on a network/removable drive kind of oxymoronic?
Not at all. Think about thin clients which have virtually no local storage, and exclusively boot from the network. They're very common in everything from schools to government.
Doesn't a loss of connection to the network/removable drive necessarily mean that the whole system goes down (so handling temps in that situation is kind of moot)..?
That's not really a call for library code to make. We simply have to try our best to be resilient to whatever weirdnesses client code puts us in. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
