I am using MX-21 and my /tmp directory is getting purged on every reboot. I would like to keep my /tmp for a week, so after some searching the web I modified the /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf file and added this line

d /tmp  0755 root root 7d

and it's is NOT Helping me and the /tmp directory is still getting purged. What do I need to do to keep the contents of /tmp for a week?

    Usually /tmp is mounted as type tmpfs. That is, a RAM disk. So figure out what is mounting it (/etc/fstab?). With that said, why do you need to keep persistent temporary data? That's what /var/tmp is for. – CR. Jun 11 '22 at 16:13
  • remark: keeping something for a week sounds a lot like you actually want to log sensibly! So, use your systems logging facilities! – Marcus Müller Jun 11 '22 at 19:03
