I'd like to mount /tmp
without fstab entry using tmp.mount
However on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, it doesn't seem to work.
user@user-x1:~$ systemctl status tmp.mount
Unit tmp.mount could not be found.
user@user-x1:~$ sudo systemctl enable tmp.mount
Failed to enable unit: Unit file tmp.mount does not exist.
user@user-x1:~$ sudo systemctl cat tmp.mount
No files found for tmp.mount.
user@user-x1:~$ cat /usr/share/systemd/tmp.mount

What's happening? Why does systemd say unit could not be found even though bash auto tabbing fills up tmp.mount
and what's the simplest way to enable this tmpfs
without any config?
