- jchw 2y agoThat's not a system update, though; you do actually need to actively run a pretty specific command to get the systemd-tmpfiles behavior. Closest thing I can recall was the old Steam for Linux bug that accidentally tried to rm rf /.
- devsda 2y agoRelated issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33349 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33349 . There' a fix available. The summary of issue is "systemd-tmpfiles" also creates/manages '/home' in some cases and if one tries to run that command with "--purge" and expect it to just clean-up all generated temp files, it will delete '/home' too! Not looking to start a flamewar, but sometimes the criticisms of massive scope creep in systemd do feel justified.
