As as side-effect, you'll see that rebooting your system can take ages,
when /tmp is being cleaned up [2] and you likely see output like this:

"a start job is running for Create Volatile files and directories (xx
minutes / no limit)"

Ext4 is highly inefficient apparently when dealing with huge amount of
files in on directory

Michael,

Thanks - that is exactly what I am seeing although it only takes ~15 minutes to clean /tmp on reboot. I will watch for an update and be careful while printing!
