Hi guys,
I just reinstalled arch with the following partitions:
[root@arch_vinnom vinnom]# gdisk -l /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 625142448 sectors, 298.1 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): BD3CA679-FA08-4F60-9BAD-B845DE9FF7EB
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 625142414
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)

The problem is that tmpfs is mounted at '/tmp' through '/usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount'

Because of this, I'm always getting:

Then I tried to change '/tmp' to '/run/tmpfs', folder that I created for this, using tmpfs wiki as reference.

But the error persists. What I'm missing?

Couldn't you just mask the tmp.mount service? (as mentioned in the wiki page you linked)
Then your /tmp partition would be mounted according to your fstab
Offline
The tmp.mount generated from your fstab should override the tmp.mount in /usr/lib/systemd/system. You say
The problem is that tmpfs is mounted at '/tmp' through '/usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount'
If that is true (could you show output of mount and your fstab?) that is worth investigating.
However, your original problem seems to be that systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails. If something is wrong with your mounts, that could be related, but it might very well be something else. Is there any more information in the journal to indicate why the service fails (maybe even mentioning a tmpfiles.d config file that is responsible)? Did you create any config files for tmpfiles.d yourself?

Depending on how your /var file system is created/mounted, you might need to enable ACL on it:

Sorry guys, I tried to be concise, but ended up that I didn't make myself clear.
My '/tmp' is mounting fine as it takes priority over systemd. In fact, what I wanted to say is that '/tmp' mounts fine, systemd tried to mount tmpfs at '/tmp' and fails and I want to point tmpfs to mount at '/run/tmpfs' which I created for this, but just editing '/usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount' didn't solve.
As for journalctl, it repeats several times this message:
Mai 02 22:43:32 arch_vinnom systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Mai 02 22:43:32 arch_vinnom systemd[1]: Failed to start Create Volatile Files and Directories.

Mai 02 22:43:32 arch_vinnom systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service failed.
Depending on how your '/var' file system is created/mounted, you might need to enable ACL on it:
hmm
I created my /var during arch installation, with mkfs.reiserfs.
Using
tune2fs -l /dev/sdXY | grep "Default mount options:"
To check if acl was already enabled, I got:
[root@arch_vinnom vinnom]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | grep "Default mount options:"
tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda5
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Then I searched a bit and noted that reiserfs isn't compatible with acl =/

Like most Linux file systems, ReiserFS supports ACL (assuming the kernel is built with CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y).
You just need to add the acl option to your /var partition in /etc/fstab.

Oh! I think had found old topic about and as, for now, I'm using stock kernel, setting acl in fstab worked like a charm.
It solved, as you can see here:
systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

Thank you guys, for your attention. I'll mark this as SOLVED.
