Randall,

   Nope. Some time in the recent past /tmp was taken over by tmpfs, in
memory. On this host it's,
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,mode=1777)
while in /etc/fstab it's still shown as,
/dev/sda9        /tmp             ext3        defaults         1   2

   It puzzled me until I learned about the change.

Regards,

Rich
