I'm curious.

As pointed out by the hier(7) manpage, by definition /tmp is designed for temporary file usage. Why are you wanting to store files there?

Is it because you created such a large partition for /tmp? Or have you fallen into a usage pattern which you want to perpetuate by redesigning Unix to fit the practice?
