Hey, I have a strange situation!
I just realized that my /tmp partition is not being mounted at startup.
Instead, I think the filesystem may be allocating space in another
partition (maybe /root?) for tmp stuff.
I would like to return to the prior setup, where the /tmp partition is
mounted at startup, and is used for the tmp stuff.
Can I do so without trashing my system, and having to reinstall from
scratch.
Note: I have current system bakups using Timeshift, and current data
(/home/[user]) backups using Borgbackup.
And I can image the ssd with Clonezilla, or even dd, if I have to. But
I would prefer not to go through the hassle of doing so, if it is not
really needed.
I am running Debian 11 Stable (Bullseye).
My computer has a single internal 256 Gb ssd.
I am using Gnome Version 3.38.5 as my desktop environment.
