Otherwise, they will start to complain (as have started with me :S) about they losing files in /tmp or it becoming full on low mem systems. We should simply add a link to: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems/
to complain -> to get complaints
Wait. There are people who don't use tmpfs for /tmp?! Really!? I always though it's so obvious you always do it mechanically in the fstab. And tmpfs is not the only issue here. systemd-tmpfiles also removes old files from /tmp and /var/tmp.
Heh, losing files in /tmp... I guess people will complain about anything. Yeah, adding that link to the wiki is not a bad idea.
Well, I noticed the problem because I wasn't mounting it on tmpfs on any computer I maintain and also sometimes rely on files being preserved there for some days ;) Also, sometimes I download ISOs there for burning them and that can be problematic if they are big enough :S
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) I think /var/tmp is there for the bigger temp files; at least, that's what I use it for.
