gsd-housekeeping should skip mountpoints in /tmp
I suspected systemd-tmpfiles-clean
in the beginning, so you can read the whole story here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12692
Basically I quickly mounted a remote location to /tmp/foo
because I had no root rights to create a mountpoint in /mnt
. Then something deleted all files older than 14 days from the mount. As we excluded systemd-tmpfiles-clean
as a suspect, the culprit was probably gsd-housekeeping
and its "feature" which delete temporary files older than n days.
gsd-housekeeping
should skip mountpoints or, in general, files and folders on other devices.
