In short, I would STRONGLY recommend against mounting /tmp tmpfs. That ONLY works for advanced users as they can fix the resulting problems themselves.

I recommend the opposite. I recommend doing this move with a small tmpfs early in the release cycle, so that testers can weed out misbehaving apps (like gimp). Those apps should be using /var/tmp. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
