Re: [qubes-users] QubesIncoming folder in /tmp ??

2023-07-02 Thread Sven Semmler
I like the way the ticket is formulated ... only empty directories should be 
removed. 

I'd be extremely careful with binding QubesIncoming to /tmp ... this might lead 
to unintended loss if qvm-move is used or the origin is a disposable and the 
user does not immediately move the file out of QubesIncoming. Also consider the 
Idle-Shutdown script.

Personally I often treat QubesIncoming as an Inbox of sorts for different 
domains. Having files vanish without manual interaction would be a disaster in 
some cases.

I thought there was already an open issue for this, but I couldn't find one, so 
I just opened this:

I use this in rc.local:
```
mkdir /home/user/QubesIncoming
chown user:user /home/user/QubesIncoming
mkdir /tmp/QubesIncoming
chown user:user /tmp/QubesIncoming
mount --bind /tmp/QubesIncoming /home/user/QubesIncoming
```

I dont think the chown calls are needed, but I put them in , and have
not removed them.
Works as you would expect.

[qubes-users] QubesIncoming folder in /tmp ??

2023-06-30 Thread Ulrich Windl (Google)
Hi!

I wonder: Couldn't a systemd service do that?

[qubes-users] QubesIncoming folder in /tmp ??

2023-06-30 Thread haaber

Hi I was wondering if it would not me preferable (at least in some VM's)
to delocalise the QubesIncoming folder in /tmp to have it "cleaned up"
regularly. It's a pain to do so manually. Is there a problem doing so ? 
What would be the cleanest way to do it? A symlink ??  thank you, Bernhard
