Description nkoch 2022-03-09 09:35:07 UTC 
I am having a system running with readonly root, where tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp which is recreated at every boot with rc.conf settings

varmfs="YES"
populate_var="YES"

This works with 12.1 where var comes before tmp.

Under 13.0 tmp comes immediately after mountcritlocal and before var,
so I end up in /bin/sh with every boot.

Obvious solution would be to add var as a requirement for tmp, but
I don't know if that would lead to some other problems.

/etc/rc.d/gbde, which comes verearly tries to create a temp file under /tmp
Comment 2 nkoch 2022-03-09 13:11:21 UTC 
No, gbde is ok. It uses /tmp only when stopping.
