Well it says it was generated by systemd-fstab-generator, but that
would usually put its generated units in /run/systemd/generator, not
/etc/systemd/system/, so it seems at some point something/someone ran:
# systemd-fstab-generator /etc/systemd/system
while the OP had an entry for /tmp in teir /etc/fstab.
Maybe while they were experimenting trying to change setup of /tmp,
without realising that the fstab entry itself was enough?
Cheers,
Andy
