Processes that need to make use of /tmp during the boot process,
but before /usr is mounted will bomb out. This may keep the system
from booting, etc....
The standard solution is to have a small /tmp on root, use that
during the booting phase, and at the end of that, nfs mount /usr/tmp
on top of that. Of course, one shouldn't leave any file open on
the original /tmp. There are other ways to accomplish similar
effects, for instance, mount_union.
