I'm not sure how my /tmp directory works. But I've noticed a couple of times I
run out of space on it.
Why is my mount reporting it's 10M? That's tiny. I'm sure I didn't purposefully
set that whilst installing Debian.
Why does df -h give two entries for tmpfs, where both don't seem to be fully
used!
You don't have a partition specifically for /tmp, so /tmp will be stored
on the root partition, /, which df shows is full
The two tmpfs filesystems are mounted on /dev and /dev/shm and are
unrelated to /tmp
