Recently, I installed Tumbleweed on a spare partition for testing purposes and this trick stopped working. There is no /tmp mounted anymore and the system won't boot successfully.

For one, there is no /usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount in leap-15.1 or tw-20200620. 16:47 a4:~ # find /etc/ /usr -name tmp.mount /usr/share/systemd/tmp.mount -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Any ideas?

You're both right, Jan and Andreas. Instead of looking into the bash history, I blindly copied the instructions from an very old mail into this one :-D https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-07/msg00141.html So, on Leap 15.1 and current TW my step 3 actually is: ln -s /usr/share/systemd/tmp.mount /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/tmp.mount That worked for Leap 15.1 but not for TW.

I certainly don't want to start (another) flamewar against systemd, but what's wrong with putting this into /etc/fstab:

Simply get a copy of tmp.mount from the systemd git repository. cd /etc/systemd/system wget --timestamping https://raw.githubusercontent.com/systemd/systemd/master/units/tmp.mount ln -s /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/tmp.mount reboot It is a shame it was decided to deviate from the default., -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Do you happen to know what the default is?

Default currently is always mounting /tmp on tmpfs that can only use up to 10% of the system ram. SUSE default is mount /tmp on disk filesystem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Many thanks! Just putting tmp.mount to /etc/systemd/system/ seems to be enough. Do you have any idea why it is actually enabled without explicitly enabling it by linking it into local-fs.target.wants?
