I appreciate the follow up. I did some quick reproduction attempts last weekend, but was unable to get the same behavior, so this makes more sense. There's another recent edge case bug, #923784 (full root partition), that may benefit from using an explicit /etc path with mktmp, so maybe we'll get a 2 for 1 fix. -- Kind regards, Michael
