Hello! Although putting /tmp on its own partition is helpful, I prefer not to symlink /var/tmp to /tmp because /tmp and /var/tmp are handled in a different manner by most systems: While /tmp is cleared at boot time, /var/tmp is not (see the file /etc/rc and the comments where), preserving recovery files. If /tmp is not on its own partition, I create /usr/tmp and symlink /tmp to /usr/tmp in order to avoid filling of /.
