| 5 | True, but there was pushback by Fedora developers when this became the |
| 6 | default so Lennart patched systemd for a "/tmp" mount in "/etc/fstab" |
| 7 | to override "/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount". |
| 8 | |
| 9 | A pseudo-policy (pseudo since it wasn't, AFAIK, an official policy) |
| 10 | was instituted whereby applications that were creating large files in |
| 11 | "/tmp" should be patched to use "/var/tmp". |
