mounting issues using /scripts/securetmp

[monotest]

I wanted to increase the size of /tmp dir, so killed mysql, httpd processes. Then

umount /tmp

replaced the size value in /scripts/securetmp

rm /usr/tmpDSK

and finally launched

/scripts/securetmp

and got this output:

Would you like to secure /tmp & /var/tmp at boot time? (y/n) y
Would you like to secure /tmp & /var/tmp now? (y/n) y
Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /scripts/cpservice line 48.
Use of uninitialized value in print at /scripts/cpservice line 49.
Use of uninitialized value in exit at /scripts/cpservice line 55.
Securing /tmp & /var/tmp
Setting up /tmp... mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Done

You may notice securetmp failed to mount tmp dir

Setting up /tmp... mount: you must specify the filesystem type

What filesystem type I have to specify? How to mount it manually?

I use CentOS 5, latest WHM 11.28.83. In case you need, here is the copy of my fstab:

Hello,

Please try the following steps:

1. Uninstall securetmp

/scripts/securetmp --uninstall

2. Remove /tmp and /var/tmp from /etc/fstab

cp /etc/fstab /root/fstab.bak110224
vi /etc/fstab

Remove the line for /tmp in the file:

/tmp             /var/tmp                    ext3    defaults,bind,noauto        0 0

Save the file wq)

3. Move /usr/tmpDSK if it exists to /usr/tmpDSK.bak110224

mv /usr/tmpDSK /usr/tmpDSK.bak110224

4. Re-run /scripts/securetmp

/scripts/securetmp

If the above does not work, please provide the size you are trying to use to increase /tmp to for the securetmp script. It might be that you are exceeding an allowed value for the size of the partition.

Thanks.
