[opensuse-factory] tmpfs for /tmp does not work always
LS, I have several machines running TW only and one with multiple versions of OpenSuse. On the latter machine I can't get the /tmp directory as a memory based directory, but only when using TW. The line in fstab are everywhere the same but when enabled for TW, I can't get services being started because the system is always in read-only mode. Even when I add rw to the mount instruction, it stays in ro mode only. As said before, on other TW machines no problem. Has anybody encountered a similar situation?

1. /tmp on tmpfs is default on openSUSE, no need to for special entries in /etc/fstab 2. "The system is in read-only mode". Only /tmp or the whole root filesystem? If the later, this sounds more like an independ issue with your system. Thorsten

However, the TW installation I am talking about is still having this issue. But only for the TW partition. There might be a bigger issue here since the root FS is set to RO. Maybe just re-install TW at some point in time and look if that helps? --- Frans -- A: Yes, just like that A: Ja, net zo Q: Oh, Just like reading a book backwards Q: Oh, net als een boek achterstevoren lezen A: Because it upsets the natural flow of a story A: Omdat het de natuurlijke gang uit het verhaal haalt Q: Why is top-posting annoying?

Ok, the root filesystem is going to RO, not /tmp. This means something with your root filesystem is wrong. Is there anything in the "journalctl -b" output about btrfs errors or switching to ro? Else a fresh installation may be the quickest solution to fix this.

I think you should post to opensuse-support mail list instead and ask for help on solving the RO issue. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
