You don't "turn off" tmpfs as it's used by other system functions. You
simply want to mount /tmp on a different (real) filesystem. As I
mentioned above, try unmounting /tmp and then creating a /tmp with the
permissions I mentioned above. Then search for the answer to disabling
the system level mount of /tmp on tmpfs.
This has been mentioned here quite recently.
Edit /etc/default/rcS.
At the end of the file you will find this entry:
# mount /tmp as a tmpfs
RAMTMP=yes
Change the "yes" to "no".
Reboot.
This will only affect /tmp. There are other entries for the other ramfs
filesystems, but they take very little memory and so can be as they are.
