/var/tmp is *specified* as "surviving a reboot", so cleaning it on |
| 11 |
startup is not merely non-standard, but *forbidden* by the standard - |
| 12 |
said standard being the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard ... |

For example, editors assume /var/tmp is a safe place to stash their |
| 15 |
files so they can recover from a system crash. |

(I used to mount /var/tmp as a tmpfs until I found that out ...) |
