I am reopening this bug as I am affected on my two Lucid systems. Here are the steps to reproduce :
$ grep TMPTIME /etc/default/rcS TMPTIME=0 $ mount | grep "/tmp" /dev/mapper/stripe-tmp on /tmp type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,commit=600,data=writeback,barrier=0) $ touch /tmp/to-delete $ ls /tmp/ lost+found to-delete $ sudo reboot $ ls /tmp/ lost+found to-delete I tried "touching" a file in the directory /tmp on my root partition and neither the /tmp included in the root partition or the one on the separate partition is cleaned on reboot. The /tmp directory is cleaned when I run this : $ sudo service mounted-tmp start mounted-tmp stop/waiting $ ls /tmp/ lost+found Additional information (I can provide more on request) : $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 $ apt-cache policy mountall mountall: Installed: 2.15.2 Candidate: 2.15.2 Version table: *** 2.15.2 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.14 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages Thank you -- /tmp is not cleaned when on a separate partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
