Hey, I have a strange situation! I just realized that my /tmp partition is not being mounted at startup. Instead, I think the filesystem may be allocating space in another partition (maybe /root?) for tmp stuff.
I would like to return to the prior setup, where the /tmp partition is mounted at startup, and is used for the tmp stuff. Can I do so without trashing my system, and having to reinstall from scratch. Note: I have current system bakups using Timeshift, and current data (/home/[user]) backups using Borgbackup. And I can image the ssd with Clonezilla, or even dd, if I have to. But I would prefer not to go through the hassle of doing so, if it is not really needed. I am running Debian 11 Stable (Bullseye). My computer has a single internal 256 Gb ssd. I am using Gnome Version 3.38.5 as my desktop environment. uname -a: Linux [host name] 6.0.0-0.deb11.6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.12-1~bpo11+1 (2022-12-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux mount: sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=3907040k,nr_inodes=976760,mode=755,inode64) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=788500k,mode=755,inode64) /dev/nvme0n1p2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,inode64) tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k,inode64) cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot) pstore on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) bpf on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=700) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=29,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_i no=786) hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,pagesize=2M) mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing type tracefs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) configfs on /sys/kernel/config type configfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) /dev/nvme0n1p3 on /var type ext4 (rw,relatime) /dev/nvme0n1p6 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime) /dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortna me=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=788496k,nr_inodes=197124,mode=700,uid=10 00,gid=1000,inode64) gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) portal on /run/user/1000/doc type fuse.portal (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) Current /etc/fstab: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> UUID=4fdd4399-6267-404a-a292- cdc7761df3c9 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=26EE-0EF5 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1 UUID=00f0c2db-0490-4354-b949- f9af11a7f001 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=8bfeee23-9c09-45b7-a73e- bd2ff43e207c /var ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=e2a56ec3-99d4-4b40-9aa4- 24975143cdc7 none swap sw 0 0 Original /etc/fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.
