Bug#1072249: systemd: leftover files on the underlying /tmp since /tmp became tmpfs

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: systemd
Version: 256~rc3-6
Severity: normal


Hey.

When /tmp was switched over to tmpfs, it seems that there was no cleanup of
the underlying /tmp (i.e. on the underlying fs), so any files that had been
there, are still there and will – unless manually removed – remain there forever.

Not really sure whether an automatic clean up is a good idea – in the extreme case
people may put stuff there, assuming them to not be covered by auto-cleanup because
that affects only tmpfs.
OTOH, if assumes/does something so stupid, there's no help ^^

Maybe at least add to the NEWS entry that people need to clean up manually?

Cheers,
Chris
