My /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp (because I like to keep my / clean):

Could this be related, and if so, how do I solve it? Should I fiddle
with tmpfiles.d or just abandon the symlinking?

No idea, why don't you just try to use a real directory for /tmp?
I don't think having /tmp being a symlink to /var/tmp is really
supported. Those directories have different semantics after all.

I don't really see a difference between a real /tmp and a real /var/tmp directory. A directory should be just a directory, and symlinks aren't exactly a new invention either. I'm a bit surprised this should break anything.

On servers I usually have a small root partition and sometimes even read-only, so I try to keep /tmp on its own partition or symlink it to the /var partition.

This system is my laptop, and /tmp is a symlink to /var so nothing can fill up the root partition or thrash the filesystem by accident.


Thanks,
