Hello, Since installing FC20, I've been struggling to deal with the fact that something is eating files in /tmp before I'm done with them. (I'm not talking about reboots.) If I create a file in /tmp, within N minutes, it is deleted. This is problematic since I have quite a few tools/tasks that require creating transient files in /tmp that need to exist for the duration of the process that creates them. I removed tmpwatch, assuming that was the problem but that did nothing.
After some research I've found tmpfiles.d, which can't be removed because it is wrapped in the systemd package. I attempted to disable cleaning of /tmp and /var/tmp by making the following change to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf but no dice: ----------------------- # This file is part of systemd. # # systemd is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # See tmpfiles.d(5) for details # Clear tmp directories separately, to make them easier to override #d /tmp 1777 root root 10d #d /var/tmp 1777 root root 30d # Exclude namespace mountpoints created with PrivateTmp=yes x /tmp x /var/tmp X /tmp X /var/tmp x /tmp/* x /var/tmp/* X /tmp/* X /var/tmp/* #x /tmp/systemd-*.service-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.service-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.service-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.service-*/tmp #x /tmp/systemd-*.socket-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.socket-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.socket-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.socket-*/tmp #x /tmp/systemd-*.mount-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.mount-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.mount-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.mount-*/tmp #x /tmp/systemd-*.swap-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-*.swap-* #X /tmp/systemd-*.swap-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-*.swap-*/tmp ## keep those for compatibility during upgrades #x /tmp/systemd-private-* #x /var/tmp/systemd-private-* #X /tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp #X /var/tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp ----------------------- Can someone point me to the correct way to fix this problem? -- --tucker
