Re: Re: 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]



Maybe putting the cleanup task for /var/tmp on a longer timer and
warning users ahead of time of impending deletion (maybe 3 days before,
2 days, etc) would help with files of unsuspecting users getting
deleted. A log entry could also be emitted. I could see a gentle
warning on ssh login (minimal, one or two lines) and desktop
notification (for desktop only users who never see the terminal) be
helpful. A smarter implementation could perhaps only warn if dirs/files
that are going to be deleted are not systemd generated random items.
This does not fix issues with applications depending on stuff being
there long term; yet again nothing's perfect in software
