Increase /tmp directory

[Sebastienbo]

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...

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
