It mean that /tmp is a RAM file system.

This could be the problem. You might have a file in the /tmp/
directory on disk, and it is hidden by the RAM file system mounted on
top of /tmp/. To check this out, try commenting out the /tmp entry in
/etc/fstab, reboot, see if there is any content there, put the entry
back into /etc/fstab, and reboot again to get back where you started.
Happy hacking,
