problems with /tmp overflow
Asked by
bill purvis
I've recently upgraded to Hardy, followed today by an update to kernel, modules etc.
As a result my / parition got full. This was spotted when gcc reported 'no space on device'
while writing a temporary file.
I then discovered that there were several earlier kernels (and modules etc.) from
gutsy and feisty still around. Deleting these has cleared plenty of space in /
but it now appears that /tmp is mounter on 'overflow' and has a 1Meg limit.
As a result, my compilations are still failing. Any way of getting /tmp back into
the root partition without a reboot?
Many thanks
Bill
