Very much a new Linux user, but some user experience with Unix 20-odd years ago. I'm finding I'm running out of space in / because /tmp is filling up doing some backups and zipping. I have more room on a different partition so I'd like to move /tmp there. Of course /tmp isn't "mounted" at the moment. I'm just confused. How do I mount /tmp onto /dev/hda6 (where /local is mounted already) and have the system see it as the right tmp directory for zipping and such things.
1. go into single user mode - "init S" 2. mv /tmp /oldtmp 3. mkdir /tmp 4. umount /dev/hda6 5. mount /dev/hda6 /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. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
