Hello!

I have the problem with free space in
/tmp directory. Some program write a lot
of data in directory mounted to other 
partition, not /tmp. Possible, a data 
compressed before writing, I think, throw
device like /dev/gzip or similar. When
writing goes on, free space on /tmp
by 'df' command desreased, but 'ls -l'
command show nothing in /tmp dir,
no one file. 

If I think right, writing and reading
to/from /dev/gzip in program performed
by creating pipe. Does kernel write
'raw' data to /tmp or in file?

Where pipes stored - in memory or in disk?
How I can avoid of partition overflow?

Very friendly,

   Dmitry Yakovlev
