(In reply to Ludwig Nussel from comment #23) > I am still not convinced about any complex solution. Fair enough. But the previous solution is supposed to handle gracefully all the corner cases that we can encounter out there though. Also it would ease the switch to "tmpfs for /tmp" the day SUSE will decide to make it the default since we would simply have to stop shipping the new service that figures out if tmp.mount needs to be masked during the first boot. But if we're fine to forget those corner cases then shipping tmp.mount as a template (like we did already) only and recommending to symlink it from /etc if one wants to use tmpfs seems the simplest indeed.
