I tried to load a large game and it stated that my /tmp was too small. I googled about a bit and found I could do the following but is this a "smart" way or more to the point is there a better way.
Example: cd /
rm -r /tmp
mkdir /home/skeeter/tmp
ln -s /home/skeeter/tmp tmp
This is if my home dir is large. My case it would be just "/"
[root@sprint skeeter]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 74G 4.0G 70G 6% /
none 504M 0 504M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 504M 8.0K 504M 1% /tmp
/dev/sda1 37G 18G 19G 49% /mnt/dos
Any directions or links would be appreciated. TIA

I thought /tmp was dynamic in size?

That's what I originally thought (up to Swap's limit?). Then I came across the above bit of info. Just wondering if that's the best idea or maybe resize swap using parted or something. I hope I don't have to start all over with cfdisk.

Comment out the tmpfs line in /etc/fstab and reboot. [/code]

Yup, or you just just umount it instead of rebooting That'll just integrate /tmp as a directory in your original root filesystem rather than a partition that feeds off swap

Stinky and Cam THANKS for the info. Yep, I commented it out in fstab and no more problems. I can always count on the GREAT Arch community for assistance.

i have same problem with /tmp, but # tmpfs is not enough:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
UUID=6ed24ca2-a738-4f16-8f5b-607ee218c10e / ext2 defaults 0 0
UUID=85551010-1160-41dd-aeca-fd507b7a580e swap swap defaults 0 0
if i check on pcmanfm
in /tmp : free space 1005 Mb
but in / : 21G free space

As you should have guessed, things have changed from 2005
Nowadays systemd mount /tmp as tmpfs by default
TL;DR: don't necropost

Oh indeed, things have changed a lot since 2005. Please read Forum Etiquette: Old Threads / Necro-Bumping. Closing.
