Problem solved: I filled the partition with /tmp on it, so nothing could be parked there. I found out when I tried running the sax2 man page which crashed but gave me the info I needed
Interesting. I hadn't considered that a full /tmp partition would do it. I don't have it on a separate partition on any of the systems I run, so this never came up. I'll be tucking that bit of info away for future use.
/tmp can fill up even if it's on the root partition...of course, if that happens, then your root partition is full, too. Personally, I don't like ANY unnecessary file I/O on my root partition, so /tmp always gets its own partition when I set up a system (just eliminates one more source of possible filesystem corruption on the root filesystem in event of power failure or kernel glitch. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
