Well, you could move /tmp to a bigger space. I think it is normally better to keep /tmp in its own partition. But, if you are running out of space and it is not reasonable to rebuild for now, then, if you have a large file system such as a /home or /scratch or whatever, make a directory there and move the /tmp stuff for now and make a symlink for it. Then, when you have the opportunity, rethink your partitioning and redo it. I tend to create my desktop with 512 MB /tmp and serious working systems sometimes with a little more. ////jerry > > Cheers, > > Noah > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
