Re: How to configure (aka deal with) /tmp in the best way?

[Michael Biebl]

while the OP had an entry for /tmp in teir /etc/fstab.

Wow!
AFAICT, i did not create any systemd files nor ran a generator or such.
Apart from listing units, i did not interfere ... wait ... i recall

using the systemctl edit command once

So, what likely happened is:
- You had an fstab entry for /tmp

- systemd via systemd-fstab-generator generated a corresponding runtime unit file tmp.mount in /run during boot - You ran systemctl edit --full tmp.mount, which created a persistent copy of tmp.mount in /etc/systemd/system/
