Re: Can/should I delete /tmp partition?
Sure, you can get rid of it ... but as tmpfs will use RAM,
and if it runs low on RAM, swap, might possibly want to
consider changing that partition to swap, and adding it there.
Even if/when tmpfs uses swap for storage, it will always be
at least somewhat better performance than if it were filesytem
on that same storage, as opposed to swap.
