That's a fair point. how ? these two options are not related in the slightest. Because both options should be enabled manually under the presumption if one knows what one is doing. Potential dataloss vs Potential boot problems, I think that is the same ball park.

[gentoo-dev] Concerns about WIPE_TMP change
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I joined this mailinglist because of my concern pointed in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206604 How stupid anyone could be that stores anything in /tmp. I think it is a problem to change the default behavior of a system that in essence will result in data loss. As pointed out by others you should not use /tmp to store data, my return question is then, why are the other ./tmp directories not wiped? If any ./tmp on a partition was 'kernel' governed I could agree that a semi-ramdisk would be gone upon reboot, or after an application was done running. But it is not. In any case my request would be to put a message with bells and beeps in the ebuild that cause the /etc/conf.d/bootmisc change announcing that by then the default option for /tmp is deletion on boot. To be consistent, also delete /var/tmp. If anyone thinks wiping /var/tmp is evil, please reconsider /tmp too. In my opinion WIPE_TMP should be in the same state as RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP. Unless anyone can make sure a user knows what he is doing, disable it. Yours Sincerely, Stefan de Konink ps. No I did not have data loss, like any good admin I read before I apply. And yes I prefer to store anything that will not cause harm, such as extracted sources for gdb use in /tmp. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHkVb/YH1+F2Rqwn0RCsK4AJ4wEQPC5MrCrZdIEzKIjJkh+pKNoQCfX1BG alIrUmXiM2kulk3p635PiZk= =57tK -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
