Bug#1083159: mount: tmpfs size for /tmp is randomly ignored

[Vincent Lefevre]

Control: found -1 256.6-1

(but it seems that the bug has always been present, i.e. since /tmp
uses tmpfs).

Well, the tmpfs(5) man page mentions the mount command and has
a SEE ALSO mount(8), and it doesn't mention systemd at all. And
the systemd.mount(5) manpage says that it invokes mount(8):

  Additional options are listed in systemd.exec(5), which define the
  execution environment the mount(8) program is executed in, and in
[...]
  systemd passes two parameters to mount(8); the values of What= and
  Where=. When invoked in this way, mount(8) does not read any options
  from /etc/fstab, and must be run as UID 0.
[...]
  Type=
    Takes a string for the file system type. See mount(8) for details.
[...]

and so on.
