Who says we have to probe in /tmp? It does, however, mean we need write permission to a directory in each mount point. If we don't have write perms or if its a read-only mount or if the user just doesn't want us to probe then you fall back to platform specific probes to get the file system types (such as df -T) and rely on pre-built specifications.
