Remember that /tmp does not use disk space. It's a RAM filesystem.
Only if you mount it with the right options.
If you mount it with other options, or don't mount it and just have a
/tmp directory, it's going to be normal filesystem.
Ok, I didn't think I needed to spell it out. By default, Fedora
configures /tmp as a tmpfs filesystem with no disk backing.
Except that (AFAIK) there is implicit disk backing via swap. Or is that
wrong?
Interesting, you are correct. I didn't realize that tmpfs would swap
out. The previous RAM filesystems wouldn't. I don't know if that's an
improvement though... Anyway, so yes, it does have some implicit
backing via the swap partition. However, that is still irrelevant in
the context of partitioning the SSD other than possibly the size of the
swap.
