Hello,
I just noticed that the variable TMPDIR=/tmp is set in my 11.3 install (and not by me).
This can cause problems when untaring big archives, the /tmp directory may not be able to cope with multigigabytes (dvd or videos) files.
Is there a big reason for this to be set?
It's just the default value. A value has to be set, and /tmp is the convention. You can change it through your environment variables. If you do, I wouldn't remove the old directory, as some programs may have it hard-coded. jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
