My users home directory is ephemeral as well, so this wouldn't happen. Everything I didn't declare to persist is deleted on reboot.

What I do use tools like these for is verifying that my persistent storage paths are properly bind mounted and files end up in the correct filesystem.

I use dust for this, specifically with the -x flag to not traverse multiple filesystems.

My / is a tmpfs.

There is no state accumulating that I didn't explicitly specify, exactly because I don't want to deal with those kind of chores.

I don't think they meant forcing themselves because their RAM would fill up, but because their stuff would be gone after rebooting if they didn't move it.

They don't support DNSSEC.
