For sane values of “forever”, usually a second of so. As long as there’s a way to change it¹, please don’t optimise for the uncommon behaviour. ① tmpfs can be changed. Dropping file-rc compatibility or SCC architectures to optimise for Poettering crap or amd64 cannot be changed that easily, and thus my “please” doesn’t apply to those. Just to have that said as well. bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
