One good reason is to separate /tmp from /. When choosing between failed sort and failed passwd (or anything else, that modifies files in /), both because of "No space left on device" error I prefer failed sort and working passwd.
and exatly the opposite happens for systems which are well designed and have a seperate /tmp because as side-effect of this feature all osrt of applications are patched to spit their stuff to /var/tmp and back to rootfs
does nobody of the feautre owners realize that this is not smart nor bring any benefit at all?
