Indeed, /tmp is already on tmpfs. Isn't /var/tmp supposed to be as
well now?
Is this tutorial still accurate?

Hello everyone, I have recently installed Debian 13 KDE

@ and @home sub-volumes in a btrfs partition, my /etc/fstab
doesn't include the new tmpfs lines concerning /tmp and
/var/tmp. Are these the correct directories? Are there others?
Could you send me the new tmpfs lines in /etc/fstab? I don't
want to improvise and mess up my system... Thank you! Fred Kite
This is not needed in the /etc/fstab as it should be handled by
systemd. Check to see if it isn't already mounted. $ mount|grep
/tmp tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,size=32875324k,nr_inodes=1048576,inode64) Check
the system log: $ sudo journalctl -b0|grep /tmp Aug 19 05:08:36

Historically, /var/tmp has never been mounted using tmpfs. The forum
post referenced is from 2011 and was still using rc init scripts.
The script referenced was a user created script to accomplish the
/var/tmp mount.
As long as I can remember (SunOS 4.0), /var/tmp was always a regular
file system.
