That's what /tmp has always meant to be i.e a temporary filesystem that is not persistent across reboot. Relying on that has always been wrong it is perfectly fine to do delete everything in /tmp on reboot. There are a lot of places to store files that survive a reboot so not seeing what your problem here is. > Is there a reason why a symlink from /tmp -> /var/tmp and leaving /var/tmp > on a real disk isn't sufficient for whatever is trying to be solved here? That's broken /tmp should be cleaned up after reboots while /var/tmp should *not. So mixing them up is a bad idea. I don't really get why people make so much fuss about a non issue really. 99,99% of the users won't even notice that anything changed at all. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
