Subject: [PATCH] man: add a bit of a warning to systemd-tmpfiles --purge
|
|
|
|
Mention that by default, /home is managed by tmpfiles.d/home.conf, and
|
|
recommend that users run systemd-tmpfiles --dry-run --purge first to
|
|
see exactly what will be removed.
|
|
|
|
(cherry picked from commit 9ebcac3b5125a8b0b11f371731ea167cd4684adc)
