let's keep /tmp on disk for at least one more release...
Well, I disagree :-) what you are essentially proposing is not adopting this scheme due to the existent of corner cases and buggy software, not good enough for me.
This is what I believe must be done:
- For system daemons, turn on PrivateTmp in systemd .services when applicable (list of packages --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782466) This ensures that temp files are only available to the daemon process and if it crashes or misbehaves files will be deleted on spot.
Yes, good idea.
- For users, implement what Lnussel and fcrozat suggested, a separate tmp per user in /run/<user>/ tmpfs.
Yes,I'm in favor of this as well.
Otherwise temporary file creation bugs will keep biting us forever.
- Fix buggy software if any.
Still I would leave /tmp per default as a normal directory and allow tmpfs usage for those that want it. Or enable tmpfs only on new installs with enough memory, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
