Of course. It's a little 5 GB HDD - but filled only to 1/3 of it's capacity.
There's just one big partition (beside swap).
The problem is, that the error message actually gives not any clue. It just
tells, that "there was problem while truing to open temporary database file"
- but there (considering the above) shouldn't be any problem. /var/tmp has
rwxrwxrwx privileges. Even worse: it's working without any problems most of
the time - and then, after f.e. a week, it refuses to work any further,
without any particular reason. It did open that temporary files 100 times
before - and it can't open it at 101. time.
Perhaps there are other possible reasons, not just wrong permissions for
"temp" sub-dir?
I think, that the error code should be more communicative, and there should
be something like "wrong permissions", "directory not found" or at least kind
of numerical error code added, to allow the reason of the problem be found.
