I don't tend to mess with the Debian default for /tmp, which is to not to have it be a mount point at all, so it is on the root filesystem. As my root filesystems are usually quite small, this does occasionally result in some programs producing "temp" output that fills the filesystem. For those cases I tell those programs to use /var/tmp instead. Usually applications support the environment variable TMPDIR or similar to tell them where to put temporary output. I haven't yet felt the need to adjust sizing or permissions on /tmp but if I did I'd just put an entry for it in /etc/fstab. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
