Hi,

now that /tmp is on tmpfs, there is a problem if you don't reboot for a longer time: /tmp will fill up your memory over the time.

For this reason we will re-enable the systemd rule to cleanup /tmp after 10 days. /var/tmp stays unchanged.

I hope this rule *only* fires when /tmp = tmpfs

At the same time we split fs-var.conf into fs-tmp.conf for /tmp and fs-var-tmp.conf for /var/tmp, so that people can overwrite the rules for /tmp and /var/tmp independently.

If you don't use tmpfs on /tmp or don't want to clean it up automatically, cp /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fs-tmp.conf to /etc/tmpfiles.d and remove the "10d" from the content.

Are you sure path / filename is correct?

strolchi:~ # ls -l /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fs-tmp.conf ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fs-tmp.conf': No such file or directory

I guess the /tmp/ cleanup didn't reach Tumbleweed yet: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/832121

I already touched /etc/tmpfiles.d/fs-tmp.conf to make sure the possible initial run during package update does not "clean up" my /tmp, but now am confused that after todays update the file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d does not exist...

If I understand the .spec changes right, fs-tmp.conf seems to be the right name. I also created /etc/tmpfiles.d/fs-tmp.conf already - I like some of my tempfiles to be less temporary ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Key Signing Party? Was ist denn das?

That's why I wrote we will enable and not we did enable ... ;)

I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to retroactively change the volatility of the /tmp directory of existing systems. While I appreciate that you informed users on the Factory mailing lists, I fear that there might be people loosing their data who have important files in their /tmp directory that they haven't backed up yet. At least, RPM should prompt the user to agree with the overwriting mechanism on upgrade, similar to the license agreement prompts.
