Is it possible to increase the space available in /tmp without doing the
backup/repartition/reinstall/restore dance?
I'm trying to backup a dvd using k9copy. It wants to have about 8 gig free in
the /tmp partition, but when I set the system up, I gave /tmp much less than
that.
I don't know k9copy, is there a way to have it use another directory
than /tmp, e.g. by a command-line option or by setting TMPDIR? If not,
you should file a bug report to the k9copy authors, because putting huge
files in /tmp is just plain wrong. These days it makes sense to mount
/tmp on a tmpfs filesystem, and writing DVD images there thwarts this
possibility.
Regards,
Sven
