You can also do
mount --bind / /mnt
and then look at /mnt/tmp.
No need to reboot into single-user mode for that.

Yes. And by the way, "df /tmp" is a much more intuitive way to get
that same answer.

if the tmp partition exists then put it back in your

may not mount. if it doesn't you can reboot and it

of course, make sure you have the mount point defined.

I suspect that what you need to do is:

2) Adjust fstab to include the /tmp partition,
3) Mount the /tmp partition

You should probably do all of this
