Sysinstall automatic filesystem size generation.

[Jon Dama]

Um, that they may be but... I was under the impression (mistaken?) that
/tmp is a directory defined under the POSIX standard and is in fact
supposed to be flushed in those cases, and that /var/tmp is to be used
for programs desiring persistant storage across shutdowns (scheduled and
unscheduled).

Perhaps it only says that a program is not allowed to rely on /tmp being
persistent.  I don't have a copy at hand :-/
