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 ? Could I simply remove it
and create a symbolic link ln -s to say /usr/tmp instead (where I have
several hundred GBs free)?
PS! This is on a live server and I would like to keep downtime and problems
to a minimum. :-)
Cheers,
Andy

Removing /tmp and replacing it with a link is a bad idea, it might have
unexpected effects if you have to go into single user mode for
maintenance - especially if /usr cannot be mounted at that time. A
solution would be to create a /usr/tmp BEFORE mounting /usr
If the problem comes from locate, the best option is to move locate
database and temp files on another drive - take a look at locate.rc for
information - this should cause 0 downtime.
If the problem is that the tmp file is really too small for a number of
operation including locate (for example compile also fails due to lack
of space) you will need to either configure each and every failing
program to use a different temp directory or move temp directory
