You say on your system you have it set to

This means that YOU manually moved the /tmp folder,
Ben,
Actually, no. I've never did anything with tmpfs, other than ignore it. It
was onlyh yesterday that I looked into just what it is and learned that it
was mis-mounted. Way back when, I set /dev/sda9 to mount on /tmp. Somehow
that was changed to a sort-of RAM disk rather than a hard drive partition.
This may well be the result of upgrading this system from an earlier
distribution version when tmpfs was not mouted as /dev/shm.
Two Months ago you rebooted your computer and every file in /tmp vaporized.
All thanks to a change you made in /etc/fstab.
I never saw an empty /tmp after rebooting. Every time I've looked in /tmp
the usual files are there.
Thanks,
Rich
