FYI, there is a bug in systemd. So, running: "systemd-tmpfiles --purge" will delete your /home/ in systemd version 256. #linux

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •This is why a tried and true classic Unix init system works. Fewer binaries, typically no need to wait for a binary patch, sys.admins can edit rc files to fix (break) at will.

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •This link alone shows what a crapshow SystemD is.
UNIX philosophy which Linux had inherited would do one thing with a binary, and do that well.
Here, command has been morphed beyond its name by the developers and definitely beyond recognition, and it's our fault thinking otherwise.

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •i wonder what "run0 systemd-tmpfiles --purge" does...remove root's home? double the delicious bloat-fun!!
anyway, kids will be posting this "feature" command on reddit as a remedy for any systemd issue and folks will be blindly copy pasting it...i can see it now.
lulz.

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •A bug in systemd? Interesting.
Is something that is clearly stated in the manual page really a bug? Or do we only consider it a bug because it is in systemd?

I won't tolerate this kind of argumentation in my timeline.
--purge is a new option, it was not there before. It is not a breaking change, and if there is a new option, either read the documentation, or learn from your mistakes.
In any case, don't blame your lack of responsibility on others.
