Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2012-04-11 12:55:20 UTC

Please check "systemd-journalctl" and look for any output related to systemd-tmpfiles, which might explain this.

Comment 2 cblaauw 2012-04-11 20:24:35 UTC

Systemd-journalctl does nat show any info related to the tmpfiles services. If you need it, I can attach the output.

Thanks,

Carsten

Comment 3 cblaauw 2012-04-12 17:05:56 UTC

Do I need those services, if I have a tmpfs mounted at /tmp?

Comment 4 Michal Schmidt 2012-04-13 10:30:11 UTC

Yes, you need them. They handle more than just /tmp. For instance, they create some service directories under /run.

What does this command show?:
systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

Comment 6 cblaauw 2012-04-13 16:22:13 UTC

Apprantlx todays's updates fixed the problem for me. Maybe it was the update of radvd?

Comment 7 Michal Schmidt 2012-04-13 17:52:53 UTC

That's likely. The %pre scriptlet of the radvd package run during the update created the 'radvd' user.
