Aside from the "behaviour change" aspect, I find this also conceptually wrong: Running "sos report" now rightfully says WARNING: tmp-dir is set to a tmpfs filesystem. This may increase memory pressure and cause instability on low memory systems, or when using --all-logs.
/tmp as tmpfs is meant for *small* transient files, while /var/tmp is meant for big files which may also live a bit longer and survive a reboot. A typical sosreport even on a short-lived VM is already > 10 MB, and it can easily get bigger with more hardware or longer log timespans. My recommendation would be to (1) fix the policy upstream to move Debian/Ubuntu to /var/tmp, and (2) if you want to keep this SRU and plucky update, set tmp-dir explicitly in the config. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2114840 Title: [sru] sos upstream 4.9.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sos/+bug/2114840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
