The systemd-tmpfiles binary will report a fatal error if /tmp is not owned either by root, or by the current user: Detected unsafe path transition /tmp (owned by nobody) → /tmp/test-systemd-tmpfiles.a8qc6n18 (owned by berrange) during canonicalization of tmp/test-systemd-tmpfiles.a8qc6n18/test-content.7chd7rdi When doing development inside a 'toolbox' container (which is required on a Fedora SilverBlue distro), /tmp is owned by 'nobody', because it has been passed through from the host and host UID 0 gets mapped to UID 65536 by usernamespaces. This triggers the unsafe path transition error message. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
