/tmp & /var/tmp usage warnings during large file upload

[JIKOmetrix]

Hello,

I have a cpanel sever we use with owncloud. We are getting disk usage warnings when trying to upload large files in owncloud for the /tmp folder and /var/tmp.

Used:​	3.33 GB​
Available:​	289.18 MB​
Total:​	3.81 GB​

We do not see this with files smaller than the /tmp folder partition size. I have a user trying to upload a 15GB data file. That is a lot larger than 3.81GB /tmp or /var/tmp partition.

I'm thinking I need to move the /tmp & /var/tmp mount point a partition that is larger like the root. Here my partitions.

Current Disk Usage Information

	Device	Size	Used	Available	Percent Used	Mount Point
	/dev/loop0	3.9G	9.6M	3.7G	1%	/tmp
	/dev/md126	11T	4.3T	6.1T	42%	/mnt/backup
	/dev/md127	11T	404G	9.9T	4%	/home
	/dev/root	219G	12G	197G	6%	/
	/dev/sda1	510M	3.6M	507M	1%	/boot/efi

Any suggestions would be very helpful so users can upload a 15GB file.

I'd suggest to use PHP's upload_tmp_dir.

Thank you. I'll try that. It will likely be an easier fix to edit the php.ini then to move the /tmp folder mount.

Thanks!

Definitely easier and better practice as well. Keep in mind the following from PHP PHP: Description of core php.ini directives - Manual
