No.
Not that I know. There was a long discussion about it.
Well,
Regardless of whether openSuSE follows suit or not, it makes a lot of sense for SSD. Moving the volatile /tmp to RAM just eliminates that as a wear concern.
But I don't have any such concern. Instead I have the concern that applications and people expect the contents of /tmp to survive a reboot.
The only concern is old apps that may write large amounts of data to /tmp (which they should have been re-written to write to /var/tmp). There shouldn't be any persistent data. I checked before the move and I had a total of 15k in /tmp from the past week of heavy use, so it's not a memory concern.
I haven't had any issues though several reboots. I'll let you know if I see anything funny.
There is no specification that says /tmp is short term. Not in the Linux filesystem hierarchy, AFAIK. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R. (testing openSUSE Leap 15.0, at Minas-Anor) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
