I've got a pretty much stock set up and my tmp directory was full of months old stuff and the same went for the journals so it doesn't seem set up for automatic housekeeping out of the box.
I think tmp is indeed not cleaned (on purpose, IIRC).
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s18.html "Although data stored in /tmp may be deleted in a site-specific manner, **it is recommended that files and directories located in /tmp be deleted whenever the system is booted.**" My /tmp gets very large as well particularly with stuff from firefox so I don't think openSUSE clears it at boot properly.
The journals are limited, just the limits are very generous. You'd have to adapt them in /etc/systemd/journald.conf. I have [Journal] SystemMaxUse=100M MaxRetentionSec=3month
journal works just fine with default settings for me 184M at the moment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
