Personally, I don't like ANY unnecessary file I/O on my root partition, so /tmp always gets its own partition I/O is still I/O that has to be handled by the _disk_ not the _partition_, so it matters not if /tmp is on it's own partition unless it is also on a different disk. Really?
So if the /tmp directory is corrupted, and it is on its own partition (and therefore, a separate filesystem), this corrupts the root filesystem how, exactly?
You weren't talking about corruption but only disk I/O. A filesystem can't get corrupted if there's no write activity on it.
DUH!
