Thanks to all for your input! Editing /etc/periodic.rc seem to do the trick, but now I faced a different problem which I've never seen before:
locate: integer out of +-MAXPATHLEN (1024): 1029 There are some directories that contains A LOT of small files I think. Need to investigate. Also thanks for the tip on omitting parts of the filesystem. Perhaps I need to do that. /Andreas On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 1:56 PM, Michael Ross <g...@ross.cx> wrote: > On Wed, 22 Aug 2012 12:59:13 +0200, Andy Wodfer <wod...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, >> I have about 500MB in my /tmp and it seems to be too small when the >> periodic LOCATE script runs every week. >> >> What's the best way to increase the size of /tmp ?
