/tmp empty but /tmpDSK Full

[ToddW]

cPanel is refusing to update because there's not enough disk space.

/tmp is empty, and Tmp Watch is installed.

MySQL TMP directory is in another location.

tmpDSK is 2.1gb (the size I specified in securetmp), but there are only a few megs worth of files actually in /tmp

Why is tmpDSK (in /usr) full, and how do I empty it so I can update cPanel?

Ok.... here it is.

cPanel updates will fail due to a lack of available space in the /usr partition. This is discussed on the following thread:

The last attempt to update cPanel/WHM Failed

Thank you.

??? No kidding. As you can see tmpDSK is in /usr and it is FULL.

That's why I'm asking WHY tmpDSK is full, that's WHY I created this thread.... If it wasn't full then /USR would have enough room.... I've already done a lot to free up space...
