]] Roger Leigh | I think that if we have /run/lock, /run/shm makes sense (how different | are locks and POSIX semaphores? They are just a different type of | lock (broadly). And shared memory is ephemeral state, just like | samba's state etc.). So I would argue that it does fit. But this | isn't a universally held opinion. Is there any rationale against | doing this?
/dev/shm is POSIX shared memory, not just semaphores, afaik? | I'm not as sure about /run/tmp, though all the files under /run | are strictly temporary, they are pretty much all system files | rather than being owned by users (though /run/lock and /run/shm | would be user-writable; however, there are proposals to restrict | access to /lock as on Fedora). I'd rather not make /tmp a tmpfs, and there's no reason for it to live under /run. It might also reasonably be namespaced for different users and so on, so moving it somewhere else than /tmp is, IMO, silly. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
