So is /tmp filling interminably for all users of 13.1 who haven't otherwise fiddled with something to prevent this, or who don't have /tmp stored in RAM?
Nope, I don't have that problem.
I do.
Not that big, but I have files or directories in /tmp going back to 2010. Well, two files are dated 1970, but those dates are obviously wrong.
If you look at the contents of /tmp, can't you tell what it is that's filling it up?
Irrelevant. Old files should be automatically deleted, no matter what created them.
I beg to differ. Where they come from is not irrelevant - the tmp files should be removed by whatever created them. Any automatic deletion is really just a band-aid. Also, when some people have the problem and others don't, there is most probably also a difference in usage. Hence it makes sense to look at the contents and who created it.
Maybe in s perfect world, perhaps. But tmp has always been for temporary files, and software was always written with the understanding that the system would clean these spaced, and therefore these things could be abandoned. Its been that way since the Pleistoscene. Tmp historically wsd cleared at boot up. When system we reliable enough to run for months, purges on schedule were added. Opensuse took the unprecedented step of breaking that rule, unilaterally. And the users are now left cleaning up the mess. If it is, as you unilaterally declare, up to the file creator to clean up every file in tmp, then by all means, lets start by having Opensuse clean up THEIR files first. Personally I think it was just laziness on opensuse's part. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
