I have two harddrives on my computer running Linux Mint. The first is an SSD and has my / partition and the second is an HDD and has my /home partition. I have heard that too many writes to the SSD is bad, so I have attempted to move the location of the /tmp folder to somewhere on the HDD. To do this I created a folder on that drive, gave owner to root, set permissions via chmod to 1777, then ran ln -s /tmp /new/location/tmpApplications seem to be using the new /tmp folder, but the folder does not seem to be emptying itself on reboot. I have edited /etc/default/rcS to set TMPTIME=0, but this does not seem to fix the issue.How do I fix this problem?

ln -s /tmp /new/location/tmpThe command is backwards. The parameter order for ln is the same as for mv or cp: source, then destination.You might want to consider resizing your /home partition to make space for a new /tmp partition, since it needs to be available very early in the boot process, possibly before /home comes up.Alternately, you can mount /tmp as a ramdisk, if your system isn't tight on RAM.
