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.
If a process crashes I'm probably going to *want* those files as they are pertinent to the state of the software at the time of crash.
- For users, implement what Lnussel and fcrozat suggested, a separate tmp per user in /run/<user>/ tmpfs. Otherwise temporary file creation bugs will keep biting us forever.
I like this. I already use a tmpdir located in /home/<me>/tmp, managed by way of TMPDIR. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
