Details

Description:

Cleaning /tmp at boot time also removes the lost+found folder on an ext3/ext4 filesystem.

When fsck runs, it generates the

lost+found not found. CREATED

message.

I have a separate logical volume for /tmp mount.


At least for cosmetic reasons it should be fixed.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  systemd-tmpfiles is more clever about ignoring things like lost+found and is now used by everyone, systemd or not.

Any particular reason you've chosen not to use tmpfs for /tmp?
Comment by Dan McGee (toofishes) - Saturday, 12 May 2012, 16:59 GMT
Because sometimes people need more than available RAM for /tmp? I know you and Tom like to advocate using tmpfs, but there are times when it is not appropriate as well.

@Dan: then add the space as swap. I always ask this question: I would be very interested in a usecase (including numbers if performance is relevant) where using tmpfs is not the best thing to do.

@dash, if you have elected to not use tmpfs, does it solve your problem to edit /etc/rc.sysinit and silence fsc? Is this still an issue?

This should have been fixed a while ago, when systemd-tmpfiles replaced arch-tmpfiles.
