Increase /tmp directory

Hi,

My temp is 485mb and always running full, I've altered the securetmp script to have 2048 mb

I've tried all the procedures on this article (but none worked):

But even aft'er reboots nothing is working I stay with my small tmp disk

BTW: I've searched the tmpDSK file but it was nowhere to be found...

root@vps [/home/logistix]# cd /usr
root@vps [/usr]# ls -la

Re: Increase /tmp folder

I've been able to create it with dd, but it looks like its not beeing utilised

SO I don't know where tmp is getting those 512mb from...but it's certainly not from the tmpdsk

 

Re: Increase /tmp folder

I've find a custumised solution, it seems that the mkfs was the problem, it stopped at mkfs and then I had to re-execute it to make it work.
So my script is now in two parts, to make it work, i now got a 2GB tmp (4 times bigger then initially) offcourse I also edite the securetmp file so that the next reboot doesn't kill my changes


/etc/init.d/cpanel stop
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/lsws stop
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
cp -af /var/tmp /var/tmp.bak
umount /var/tmp
umount /tmp
rm -f /usr/tmpDSK
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/tmpDSK bs=1024 count=2048576
mkfs /usr/tmpDSK

mkfs /usr/tmpDSK
tune2fs -j /usr/tmpDSK
mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,noexec,loop /usr/tmpDSK /tmp
mount -o bind,noexec,nosuid /tmp /var/tmp
cp -a /var/tmp.bak/* /tmp/
rm -rf /var/tmp.bak/
chmod 1777 /tmp
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/httpd start
/etc/init.d/cpanel start
/etc/init.d/lsws start

Dohhh, After reboot I got again 512mb tmp!!!

Can someone help here, please

 

Ok, everything works now with this script (and change the securetmp script value to 4G)


/etc/init.d/cpanel stop
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/lsws stop
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
cp -af /var/tmp /var/tmp.bak
umount /var/tmp
umount /tmp
rm -f /usr/tmpDSK
/scripts/securetmp
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/httpd start
/etc/init.d/cpanel start
/etc/init.d/lsws start
