I don't recall seeing these in oS prior to 12.2, but what are these "devices" with file system of TMPFS showing in the screengrab of the partition information in YaST2?:
What created them and for what reason?
/dev/shm has always been there; cgroup is pseudo filesystem to manage kernel Control Groups (collection of processes); others are temporary volatile filesystems with content that is discarded between reboots. So it is easier to make them memory-based than run script on every boot to clean them.
Most of them are heavily used by systemd.
Aha, thanks for the explanation.
