1. go into single user mode - "init S" 2. mv /tmp /oldtmp 3. mkdir /tmp
Don't forget**: 3.a. chmod 1777 /tmp
4. umount /dev/hda6 5. mount /dev/hda6 /tmp
Don't forget**: 5.a. chmod 1777 /tmp
6. rsync -av /new/oldtmp/* /tmp 6. return to normal runlevel - "init 5". 7. optionally get rid /oldtmp 8. update fstab to have /tmp mounted at startup.
**NOTE: It's best to set the sticky bit on both the /tmp directory of the root (/) filesystem (before mount, just in case /tmp doesn't mount) as well as on the /tmp filesystem after mount. If you don't set the sticky bit and full read/write/execute permissions on /tmp, you'll get all sorts of wacky behavior. And it won't be readily apparent the cause is permissions either. -- Bryan J.
