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

If it's just locate.updatedb filling it up temporarily,
perhaps you can solve this by ommitting part of your filesystem from the locate index.

See /etc/locate.rc

Michael
