(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) Media/Device Information, Filesystems, and Disks :
How do I convert the memfs filesystems to regular vxfs ones?
All you have to do is umount /tmp and /var/tmp in order for them to become to regular subdirectories of root again. Use the umount command to do that.


To make it permanent, umount the memfs filesystems and remove their entries from /etc/vfstab using vi. You can't use the Scoadmin Filesystem Manager to do any memfs operations, so do all that from the command line. 

     The SCO Docs for UnixWare 7/OpenServer 6 state that a memfs /tmp is required
  for their emergency repair to work.
