I have a 2 GB bz2 archive that unzips to over 10 GB (wikipedia dump).
Although I have over 50 GB free in /home, / has only about 8 GB free.
Thus, as tar uses /tmp, the / filesystem fills up and I cannot
continue. How can I specify a tmp directory for tar in my home
directory? Note that man tar makes no mention of a tmp option.
Boot in single user mode, Then as root:
# mkdir /home/tmp
# chmod 777 /home/tmp
# mv /tmp /tmp-old
# ln -s /home/tmp /tmp
# cp -a /tmp-old/* /tmp
That creates a /home/tmp directory, allows everyone access, renames the
old /tmp to /tmp-old, symlinks /home/tmp to /tmp, then copies everything
that was in the old /tmp to the new one. Once that's done, you can
reboot and all references to /tmp will now access /home/tmp.
