The ln -s will create a link at /shared_prefs and it doesn't have to exist like a mount does.

The /tmp was already being stored on /data, and I just moved it over to /cache. I have a feeling that /tmp is used by programs that don't support or may not be aware of /cache. In any case, I figured we could leave that one alone but move it to /cache to clean up our /data partition. No point in backing that up when we backup the data partition.

Edit: Well, I just read that /data/local/tmp is what things like the market use to download APK's to. I'm beginning to think maybe /tmp is something we did on XDAndroid...
time for a pig build ? leave it out for now, and if this is needed by android we can add it to the rc. This wya we dont have to rebuild the initrd to get this to work.
