In the past, if you didn't create a tmp partition, or omitted its details from the fstab file, then you'd be using a tmp directory on the root filesystem. Now, for some reason best known to themselves, the developers have decided that instead of putting an entry in the fstab file (either for a real partition or to use tmpfs in RAM), there's a systemd service that sets up a tmpfs RAM-based tmp partition. The only reason I can guess to do it that way, would be dynamic creation of more than one tmpfs, on demand. Though I don't know if they do that. If you want tmp to be on disc (e.g. because you create very large tmp files while mastering DVDs and have limited RAM, or you need some tmp files to survive a reboot), you need to stop and disable that service, and go back to setting /tmp up the old way. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 4 23:02:59 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
