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 http://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/cleaning-tmp/ and I would welcome relevant comments there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
