I'm not really that person but yes, logind removes things from
/dev/shm for a user if it's not a system user, when that user's
session ends. Which has caused even greater confusion than this,
before:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4532
In terms of avoiding this affecting OP, firstly normal users
probably shouldn't be using /dev/shm for routine storage. I would
suggest /tmp, /var/tmp or /run/user/$UID/.
If you don't like the cleaning up of /dev/shm then you can disable
it in /etc/systemd/logind.conf:
$ echo "RemoveIPC=no" | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/logind.conf
(It's already in there with its commented out default of
RemoveIPC=yes)
and then reboot. Or maybe there is a way to restart logind without
rebooting everything. Or possibly it doesn't even need to be
restarted. I have not tested this bit.
Cheers,
Andy
