Given a typical minimal system boot results in at least a few hundred KB being written to disk. Removing .bash_history from that won't make a noteworthy amount of difference.

Particularly considering that messages come out all the time and history only when you are doing something while logged in.


If you are concerned about this, you may want to look at the patches I submitted in this RHBZ:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223722

One more item to run down  :)

Got to do my final final F21 testing as well, right now.

        Well I finally realized why no history for user root.

        /root/.bash_history is linked to /dev/null

        What is the reason for this?  Is it for security reasons?


    Yes.

How do I remove this link and create a regular .bash_history file?


    You aren't seriously asking this question on a list for a Linux
    distro that _really_ isn't for Linux newbies, are you?

    rm /root/.bash_history
    touch /root/.bash_history
