Assume I define in file /etc/fstab a new line for an additional tmpfs filesystem with mount point /tmp
(and mount it either manually of through reboot).
Then I copy some file stuff onto this filesystem dir /tmp
Where are these files physically placed? Does /tmp only exist in memory RAM or inside an existing partition (which ?) on hard disc?
