Just wanted to explain:

On release 8 you could set /tmp (tmpfs) to 0 and add a true partition
size with /tmp as the mountpoint.

On 9.0 that behavior changed where setting /tmp (tmpfs) to 0 and
trying to add /tmp as a user defined partition resulted in an error
saying that /tmp was already defined.

Under those conditions giving an option to create a partition when
changing from a percentage to a size on the tmpfs line would be
helpful.

Sorry if this was unclear in my prior message.


Sincerely,

Dan
