The string "tmpfs" is a result of a problem in the tmpfs clone used on Linux.
The original code fom SunOS, introduced around 1988, lists the expected string:
The "background storage" that I mentioned before.
swap 1429648 108088 1321560 8% /tmp
tmpfs is based on anonymous pages from the swap space that in general is a
virtual "device" built on several swap devices.
Since several tmpfs mounts all share the same background storage, SunOS lists
the same name with several tmpfs mounts as well.
