yes.. you're right ...
but ... if "/tmp" accidentally mounted under root fs instead of separate
partition, than i consider the box as having gone bonkers and "not
working right" ... the box is not running as intended ( /tmp as a
separate partition ) and the system will die miserably one day soon
and lots of apps that uses /tmp will go (even more) bonkers
- guess i should been clearer
- bad, unpredictable things happen when / gets full
( when /tmp is used under root's fs )
