The only reason I can see would be a mount. But there is nothing mounted on /var/tmp.
Agreed.
Last idea: the kernel returns EBUSY if it holds an internal reference to the directory. Is that a strange or special file system? I.e. something like BTRFS and 'var' being the name of a snapshot? (I've not played much with BTRFS yet).
It's a standard ext3 as the suse-installer defaults to it: raven:/ # cat /proc/mounts | grep " / " rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/mapper/cr_sda8 / ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 raven:/ # Although playing with snapshots for backups (on ext4) is on my todo-list, I've not been on that route yet. I have installed 12.3 exactly the same way as I had installed the countless versions before it. I have a hand-written script of instructions that I follow when installing and I only derivate from it when changes in the opensuse installer force me to do so. After installation the machine is configured by a system similar to cfengine. In fact, this configuration system stumbled over this /var/tmp problem. So I am pretty sure that I have _not_ installed or configured anything different than in previous versions. How can I check whether SELinux might be a problem here? I've never been into SELinux yet... What about policykit? Isn't that something similar to SELinux? Please, can _you_ try to rename /var/tmp? -- Josef Wolf jw@raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
