Ok I dropped the idea of using my current /tmp partition for a tmpfs and
followed your suggestion

unfortunately this didn't work

The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
But I've solved it by manually adding
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,seclabel 0 0
to /etc/fstab and commenting the line used to mount the old /tmp
partition.
I still have to rid off of one of these two tmpfs
tmpfs 1633640 0 1633640 0% /run/user/989
tmpfs 1633640 20 1633620 1% /run/user/526
I think I have to keep one of them since it is associated to my id (526)
but I can't imagine what the other is for and how to avoid its creation.
Googling didn't help much.
Thanks
Walter
