So I did: mkdir /tmp/a mount --bind / /tmp/a so that I could backup without other mounted file systems. While backing up, the "systemd" tmpfile cleanup process deleted around 2/3 of the content of my root file system. (I guess I'll have to do without that backup :( ) It is a fairly common unix practice to create temporary mount points in "/tmp" . agressive file cleanup should not be deleting content of mounted file systems.
