/tmp can fill up even if it's on the root partition...of course,
if that happens, then your root partition is full, too.

Personally, I don't like ANY unnecessary file I/O on my root
partition, so /tmp always gets its own partition when I set
up a system (just eliminates one more source of possible
filesystem corruption on the root filesystem in event of
power failure or kernel glitch.
