I don't contest this, but it is still less complex than expecting all the unix software that has been written in the last decades to stop using /tmp for big files because it is suddenly limited by memory limits. I don't mind systemd exploring new concepts (and in fact I like it) but it is not reasonable to push those new concepts in a state which is known to break existing software. The tmpfs change has only been implemented halfway. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
