 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
