Samuel Sieb:
Ok, I didn't think I needed to spell it out. By default, Fedora
configures /tmp as a tmpfs filesystem with no disk backing.
I think it needed it. They originally talked about mounting a /tmp
partition (and I don't know if that was fulfilling a need, or just a
habit). So it bares pointing out that it won't always be tmpfs.
