title: 'Add nodev Option to /tmp'

description: |-
    The <tt>nodev</tt> mount option can be used to prevent device files from
    being created in <tt>/tmp</tt>. Legitimate character and block devices
    should not exist within temporary directories like <tt>/tmp</tt>.
    {{{ describe_mount(option="nodev", part="/tmp") }}}

rationale: |-
    The only legitimate location for device files is the <tt>/dev</tt> directory
    located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.
