Re: Make /tmp/ a tmpfs and cleanup /var/tmp/ on a timer by default [was: Re: systemd: tmpfiles.d not cleaning /var/tmp by default]



Hi,

Is that the default layout, or a selectable option?

When you create a partition manually, it asks for the mount point, and makes a number of suggestions in a dropdown, and /tmp is one of these.

There is also a "enter manually" option.

If the latter, to me it makes sense to keep it, maybe with updated
wording. Making things customizable is not really an issue, as long as
it's clear what happens where.

The only wording there is "/tmp - Temporary files" or something like that (has been a while since I saw that particular menu) -- it's an option in a menu, so space is limited.

FWIW, I don't see much of a use case for leaving /tmp on the root partition, so if no /tmp mount point is configured, mounting a tmpfs is a good choice. Basically anything that can boot the installer has enough RAM.
