[Bug 981632] New: Initial partition setup makes /tmp a btrfs subvolume
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=981632 Bug ID: 981632 Summary: Initial partition setup makes /tmp a btrfs subvolume Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: asarai@suse.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- On my Tumbleweed machine, /tmp is a btrfs subvolume. This means that my temporary files are not actually temporary (they persist across reboots), and they take up disk space for no good reason. % cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep /tmp 78 61 0:35 /tmp /tmp rw,relatime shared:31 - btrfs /dev/mapper/system-root rw,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=262,subvol=/tmp 86 61 0:35 /var/tmp /var/tmp rw,relatime shared:38 - btrfs /dev/mapper/system-root rw,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=274,subvol=/var/tmp Any chance this could be changed to instead use tmpfs? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

And there was that old discussion about the cron-job that deleted files in /tmp/ which people did not expect, because they had not enabled temp-dir-cleanup in sysconfig or systemd -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
