I did a fully default install in a Virtualbox using: Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23.iso That install did use tmpfs for /tmp as seen below.

As for how to run a shutdown version of rc.local it looks like it is pretty well expained in the first few hits using: fedora run script at shutdown Looks like you just create your own script (could call it rc.local.shutdown) and wrap it into a new systemd service. -- Doug H. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
