/tmp no space left on device

Not sure if this is the right subforum.

I noticed some weird behavior since today (or yesterday if you will).
First it was in my IDEs (goland and webstorm), no space left on device
now, I'm trying to upgrade packages with yay, again no space left on device.

:: 4 packages to upgrade/install.
4  aur/google-chrome           121.0.6167.139-1 -> 121.0.6167.160-1

22G?

aparently opera-ffmpeg-codecs takes up 22G+?
From a 3.4G download?
What?
And the content is a chromium tarball?
But even is 22G are used, what's up with the device being full?
Out of inodes?
41G free but no space left?

Re: /tmp no space left on device

So, interesting enough

Options=mode=1777,strictatime,nosuid,nodev,size=50%%,nr_inodes=1m

is how tmp.mount defines the mount options.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … /tmpfs.txt
says something "uh danger danger", your typical "don't run as root" type FUD, about nr_inodes=0.
If it's limited by RAM size, what do inodes matter in that case, also
arch is usually used on desktop machines.

The default of tmp.mount should be changed to

Options=mode=1777,strictatime,nosuid,nodev,size=50%%,nr_inodes=0

Can someone make that suggestion somewhere?
I checked gentoo and rocky, 1m seems to be the systemd supplied default
Someone probably thought "no one needs more than 640k RAM" and set the 1m arbitrary number.
I think it's time to change that.

Re: /tmp no space left on device

Don't try to build browsers in tmps, you'll need enough ram (32GB or so) for the build already.
"yay --builddir /path/to/more/space" or don't use yay itfp.

Unless of course

And the content is a chromium tarball?

yes - you're installing some AUR packages there what means you intend to build a browsermonster from source.
You can use the chaotic-aur repo, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unoffi … haotic-aur
