DetailsThe command in /etc/rc.sysinit that is relevant is this one:
/bin/mountpoint -q /tmp || /bin/rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.* &>/dev/null When /tmp is mounted as a separate partition, this command is not run. But judging from the command, it seems this behaviour is actually intended, so please do enlighten me if that is the case. I realised this when I noticed some leftover files in /tmp after a reboot. Creation of /tmp/.{X11,ICE}-unix directories by /etc/rc.sysinit also fails, as these directories already exist (having not been deleted). As a temporary solution, I have changed the command to this: [[ -d /tmp/ ]] && /bin/rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.* &>/dev/null Package versions: - initscripts 2011.05.2-1 |
