Thanks for the advice everyone. I've cleaned up the /tmp and it seems to be less out of control now. I still have to poke about in my /usr/lib and see what's lurking there that I'm not using and I could clear out (using zypper of course). I'm back to +/-2 to 3 GB of my usual typical install size. That's a bit more... comfortable :-)

So can anyone explain why the exclusion lines in /etc/tmp.conf # Exclude namespace mountpoints created with PrivateTmp=yes X /tmp/systemd-private-* X /var/tmp/systemd-private-* What are these directory entries, of which I have well over 300, some dating back years (12.3 system). What are they, and why are they excluded from cleaning? -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
