because i was thinking that the problem happened during boot time, and since
there where issues of read-only filesystems. ...

BTW, erik, i am not sure to have the files in non-/tmp will help
security-wise, since it will only protect from people looking after the exact
yaird behavior, and knowing about the situation.
