I have 5 tmps listed after installing RC2

English Install/Boot/Login

The YaST partition tool shows SSD, HDD, and five entries for tmpfs with mount points as follows:

/dev/shm
/run
/sys/fs/cgroup
/var/lock
/var/run

I don’t recall seeing these in 12.2. The partition tool says these are mounted and can’t be deleted.

Does anyone else have these, or is my situation unique?

Those are all pseudo file systems and are in memory. If you were to delete them,
your system would crash. They now appear due to a change in the kernel. They
take NO disk space.

I see this on my 12.2 system:


devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs
(rw,relatime,size=2891064k,nr_inodes=722766,mode=755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=755)
tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
tmpfs on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
tmpfs on /media type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=755)

So no, nothing to worry about. tmpfs is not the same as /tmp.

This seems normal.

These are virtual file systems. I’m not sure why you would want to delete them.

Okay, thanks for the info. While we’re on the subject, does anyone else have a 0 b Removable Media listed under devices in Dolphin?

I have seen this on some “x” win machine where it detects usb based devices(mouse etc) as a pen / thumb drive :slight_smile:
