If you reach the limit of /tmp, an easy was to fix this is to create a symbolic link and to map /tmp to a partition with more space.
1. Quit all running applications 2. Become super user: #su – root 3. Delete the content from /tmp: #rm -r /tmp 4. Create the symbolic link: # ln -s /larger_partition/tmp /tmp 5. Give full access to /larger_partition/tmp: #chmod 777 /larger_partition/tmp Restart your applications. Cheers,
