/tmp won't increase in size

[Secret Agent]

Used chirpy's method

/etc/init.d/chkservd stop
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
umount /var/tmp
umount /tmp
replace "256000" "512000" -- /scripts/securetmp
rm /usr/tmpDSK
/scripts/securetmp --auto
cd /tmp
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/chkservd start
df

# Add the following line before /scripts/securetmp to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
replace "256000" "512000" -- /scripts/securetmp

Its not increasing in size. I got no errors either. I rebooted before I began and even after. /tmp is only 190MB now. Anyone know what the issue could be? I want /tmp to be about 2GB in size

edit /etc/rc.local and remove the "/scripts/securetmp --auto" line.

/etc/init.d/chkservd stop
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
umount /var/tmp
umount /tmp
rm /usr/tmpDSK
/scripts/updatenow
replace "256000" "512000" -- /scripts/securetmp
/scripts/securetmp
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/chkservd start

Try that (should be no "--auto" option when running from command line).

Thank you. Got it

when I execute: umount /tmp I receive the message: umount: /tmp: device is busy

My DF:

root@ns1 [~]# df

Indeed it will be busy. You should try the following to release it:

service chkservd stop
service httpd stop
service mysql stop
service postgresql stop

umount /tmp

If it's still coming up busy, you need to find out what processes have files open on it:

lsof | grep /tmp

You'll need to kill off any processes listed. When you're done, restart the services you killed and:

service postgresql start
service mysql start
service httpd start
service chkservd start

Hi,

Didn't work.
I execute:

service chkservd stop
service httpd stop
service mysql stop
service postgresql stop

umount /tmp
Message:
umount: /tmp: device is busy

and:
lsof | grep /tmp

The terminal is stopped, nothing is listed.

I try to execute:
umount /tmp

And the message returns:
umount: /tmp: device is busy

My df :

root@ns1 [/]# df

What is that " none "?
