                    points

Originally reported at "https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802998"
where it was requested that I report here.

I was backing up my root partition.  So I did:

mkdir /tmp/a
mount --bind / /tmp/a

so that I could backup without other mounted file systems.

While backing up, the "systemd" tmpfile cleanup process deleted around 2/3 of
the content of my root file system.

It is a fairly common unix practice to create temporary mount points in "/tmp"
Aggressive file cleanup should not be deleting content of mounted file
systems.
