As usual I got many replys. This list is great. Let me try to summarize
what everyone has said.
Thanks to every one who responded there were about 20 people.
1 Person said don't bother it doesn't hurt anything.
The rest had some points in common with Dr. Blinn's answer
Create a suitable file system (either UFS or AdvFS) in some place other
than the root partition.
Edit your /etc/fstab file to mount the file system on top of the /tmp
directory during startup (details depend on whether it's UFS or AdvFS
but model it after how you mount /usr or /var).
Reboot (or at least shut down to single user mode and then restart the
system from there). When the system comes back up, it will have your
new file system mounted on top of the /tmp directory as sys_check would
have you do it. (You usually can't just mount your new directory over
the /tmp directory because of things like named sockets already present
in the existing directory.)

So this means another weekend out here. Oh boy.
