Thanks Bob!

That was good one...

I have found this (in /etc/vfstab, probably added very long time ago, 
only today it has started to "work"):

#device                         device          mount 
FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount                       to fsck         point 
type    pass    at boot options
swap                            -               /tmp 
tmpfs   -       yes     size=4096m


I will remove tmpfs size option... and reboot. THen I wil lcheck again 
(tomorrow, most likely).

One more time, thanks for the hint (I was focused on swap only)
Best regards
