Oooops, why ?

So far I never had problems with MFS, or at least no problems I would
attribute to it. My /tmp is some 30 megs, and I had it even larger before.

/var/tmp is NOT a good place to put the /tmp into, btw. If you really want
this on your hard disk, I recommend using a real partition on a disk and
mounting that.
