Great advice indeed. Unfortunately, many packages expect directories in /var/log to exist before they start and will break without them. A long time ago I wrote a service called tmpersist that takes care of that, but ultimately it was just left untriaged on RH bugzilla until it rotted - seems I was the only one around who cared.

IoT (and embedded applications in general) are quite far from the Upstream Provider’s primary envisioned use cases, unfortunately.


Make sure /tmp and /var/tmp are also mounted on tmpfs.

IIRC, they come that way out-of-the-box in the installation image.

Cheers!
