Re: Swap directory changes when opening files under /media [Fedora]

Perfect, thanks. Here's what I get:

--- Auto-Commands ---
fedora BufReadPre
/media/* set directory=~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp
Last set from /etc/vimrc
/run/media/*
set directory=~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp
Last set from /etc/vimrc
/mnt/* set directory=~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp
Last set from /etc/vimrc
...

This lead me to /etc/vimrc which has a line:

" don't write swapfile on most commonly used directories for NFS mounts or USB sticks
autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre /media/*,/run/media/*,/mnt/* set directory=~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp

Which confuses me. The aim appears to be to NOT write swap files but all it does is change the location of swap files. And I do want swap files for my mounts in case of recovery.

I am tempted to remove this line though it feels a bit hacky to change this in /etc/vimrc. I will see if I can work out how to override this autocmd in my own profile perhaps.
