    Why can't you use any other directory instead? E.g. /forevertmp ? Commented Jul 22, 2020 at 10:51
  • What is your goal?: Tell us what you are trying to achieve. Commented Jul 22, 2020 at 11:16
  • @ArtemS.Tashkinov because I don't want to remove things when they haven't been used and when system is running out of space... "Essentially directory to put random temporary stuff in and forget about it..." Please read the whole question. Commented Jul 22, 2020 at 14:34

  • What is your goal? Not what mechanism are you trying to achieve. But what is your goal? Give us some use cases. Help us to see why. Then we can suggest what you could do. At present the question body does not have enough information. We could guess (like @ArtemS.Tashkinov did, and get shot down), but there are so many possibilities. Commented Jul 22, 2020 at 19:04
