There is a directory in / called tmp on which you mount the /tmp

If you unmount /tmp, there will still be a /tmp, but probably containing no
files.
So the find command will output /tmp even with the -xdev option, but not
its
contents.
I think that every time something is written to /tmp, the /tmp directory
modification timestamp is modified.
Am I right on this ?
Please test that: I would expect the root directory of the filesystem
mounted on /tmp to be updated.
How else could it be done if / is ro (eg cdrom)?
