Unfortunately this is also true for openSUSE 12.1. While in principle it is a good feature to clean up those directories on more or less public servers, home users may still prefer to keep some stuff around there. Personally I've been bitten by cleaning /tmp. It was too late when I realized that it happened. Even more later I found out who did it. systemd! Very bad! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use openSUSE 12.1 or newer 2. Have some manually created content in /tmp Actual Results: content is removed from /tmp Expected Results: If content is removed from /tmp according to some new rules, these should be very clearly advirtised before they become active. Still better: being disabled until manually activated. -- 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.
