Hi all,
I am looking for a way to enable extended attributes for /tmp, i.e.,
tmpfs maintained by systemctl?
AFAIK most recent file system support being mounted with xattr, but I
have no idea how to get systemctl to mount tmpfs with extended attributes?
Cheers and thanks for ideas,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
Check the status of
# systemctl status tmp.mount
by default it is masked and you basically can't mount /tmp from
/etc/fstab. It will be ignored.
Running,
# systemctl enable tmp.mount
and /tmp will become a tmpfs on reboot.
I have not tried but I expect if you
# cp /lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount /etc/systemd/system/
and you should be able to edit the mount options in the new file.
Finally this is one other option which is
# system unmask tmp.mount
This will allow you to use /etc/fstab to define a /tmp filesystem.
I now confused why the last one is 'unmask' but that is what I am doing
on lxplus7.cern.ch where we use big disk for /tmp.
