--- Comment #15 from Neil Rickert 2011-11-29 20:34:19 UTC ---
It's not clear how "/bin/systemd-tmpfiles" would work here. It seems to be for
the ongoing clean of temp files, rather than a special case cleanup at boot.
My current workaround is to mount "/tmp" with tmpfs. I use this line in
"/etc/fstab":
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
Sun solaris has been doing something similar for years, so that might be a good
way of eliminating the problem.
Here's a tentative proposal:
1: Change the documentation for CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP to indicate that it
only applies when booting with sysvinit, and not with systemd. And indicate
that its use is deprecated.
2: Add support to Yast for setting up the mounting of “/tmp” from swap. There
should be a Yast option with this on the size limit (if desired). Yast would
only have to make the changes to “/etc/fstab” and advise the user that they
will take effect on reboot.
3: Once this is in Yast, consider adding it as an option in the installer.
I posted in more detail at

and I would welcome relevant comments there.
