There was supposed to be a cronjob that deleted old /tmp files, but it was superseded with something from systemd that doesn't work right. Upstream says that /tmp should be a ramdisk, so apparently they do not care. Perhaps I should resurrect the old cron script.
I autoclean tmp every few days but I forgot where it was and it took me a while to find it. Here I think it is: /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
and I think my customizing was/is:
# Clear tmp directories separately, to make them easier to override # SUSE policy: we don't clean those directories d /tmp 1777 root root 3d d /var/tmp 1777 root root 10d
Similarly here: d /tmp 1777 root root 100d d /var/tmp 1777 root root 300d But there is also this: # Exclude namespace mountpoints created with PrivateTmp=yes x /tmp/systemd-private-* x /var/tmp/systemd-private-* X /tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp X /var/tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
