increasing /usr/tmpDSK directory

[gadalf]

My /usr/tmpDSK is getting almost full, and I am getting a warn about that.
I have followed this tutorial"
[Removed - Outdated]
I have increased the $tmpdsksize= to a value around 8 gb everything looks ok, when i check to my WHM disk usage I see that nothing has changed.
Even if i redo the process to see if the charges were saved, there looks ok,
What I should do?

Hello,

Please follow below steps to increase the /tmp disk space :

So log into SSH and SU to root so we may being!

 cd /dev

Create 100MB file for our /tmp partition. If you need more space, make count size larger.

 dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpMnt bs=1024 count=100000

Make an extended filesystem for our tmpMnt file

 /sbin/mke2fs /dev/tmpMnt

Backup your /tmp dir- I had mysql.sock file that I needed to recreate the symbolic link for. Other programs may use it to store cache files or whatever.

cd /
cp -R /tmp /tmp_backup

Mount the new /tmp filesystem with noexec

mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /dev/tmpMnt /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp

Copy everything back to new /tmp and remove backup

cp -R /tmp_backup/* /tmp/
rm -rf /tmp_backup

Now we need to add this to fstab so it mounts automatically on reboots.

vi /etc/fstab

You should see something like this:

/dev/hda3               /                       ext3    defaults,usrquota        1 1
/dev/hda1               /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda2               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

At the bottom add

 /dev/tmpMnt             /tmp                    ext2    loop,noexec,nosuid,rw  0 0

Save the file

Now you can check your /tmp disk space is increases.

Hello

The securetmp script will utilize 1% of disksize with a minimum of 500M and a maximum of 4G, based on the available space on the /usr partition (where the tmpDSK file is stored). You are welcome to manually create a /tmp partition if you prefer to use a larger size.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply,
I tried to follow the steps and when i reached at:

vi /etc/fstab

I did not received the end results showed.

Once it asked me to use

tune2fs -c

to overwrite it and now i keep getting cp: overwrite.
see the attached picture please!

 

[server9host]

Hello,

Please perform tune2fs -c for new tmp partition to adjust filesystem parameters.

 

[gadalf]

I failed again
I am not very good in linux plz take a look what i did and explain i details plz

 

[server9host]

Hello,

/tmp writing process running on server that why you face this issue. Please stop all services then try to backup the /tmp file.

If still face issue then run below command :

 lsof |grep /tmp

you will see what processes are still writing and you can kill them: kill -9 PID. or do

umount -l /tmp
umount -l /var/tmp

Then try to backup the your tmp directory and proceed for further steps.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply but i still have not yet resolved it.
It keeps increasing, I contacted my compamy where I got the vps and here is their reply:

In your particular case we notice around 4 gb of data at /tmp/eaccelerator when you might want to have a look and delete if you think it is not of any use to you.

Can you tell me please how to access /tmp/eaccelerator and see what files are there?

You could modify the following line in your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file:

eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/eaccelerator"

To:

eaccelerator.cache_dir="/home/eaccelerator"

Then run the following commands:

mv /tmp/eaccelerator /home/
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

Thank you.

 

[gadalf]

Thank you very much for you reply,
Please tell me how to access to this file

/usr/local/lib/php.ini

?
What comand I should run to access that, or i can access from WHM?

 

[server9host]

Hello,

You can access the php.ini file using below command :

 vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Thanks
