disabling tmpfs on Mageia3

[Shlomo Solomon]

I just discovered that on my new Mageia3 installation, /tmp is in RAM
using tmpfs. I do understand that there are certain advantages to that,
but personally I see only disadvantages and want to disable it.
  - tmpfs uses 1/2 of my RAM. I didn't buy a new machine with 8Gb to
    end up with only 4Gb of usable RAM.
  - The resulting /tmp is too small - only 4 Gb - not even enough for a
    temporary image file in K3B. Sure, I know that I could define a
    different location for temporary files, but why should I have to?
  - I haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty sure there will be a
    negative effect on running virtual machines in Virtualbox.

I read on https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5616 that
this can be fixed in /usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount
and /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf. 

Before I do it, can anyone verify that it works and will not screw up
my box? Or is there another way?
