as I said just one comment before your's. it is save to do sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/* as you can see in /var/tmp/ are mostly old temporary files in: - they care "tmp" in it's name - are generated from akmod during compile of your module for your nvidia graphic card - the most current files/directories are with "systemd" in it's name. (at least) on my box the sub-directories in this directories are uncurrent and mostly empty. they're generated at boot. if you want to have an automatical cleanage for /var/tmp: ============================================= 1. add the following line to your /etc/fstab "tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777 0 0" - without the ' " ' ! - 2. sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/* 3. sudo mount /var/tmp 3b. check with: df -h | grep var what it does: ========== it puts the directory /var/tmp into your RAM. means: all files/directories in there will only exist as long as your box is up. so if you shut down your box the contents of /var/tmp will be emptied/depleted (wording ?). it's the same as it happens with /tmp. the initial(!) size of /var/tmp/ is half of your RAM, that should be ~ 8 GB - if I pick this right - _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
