/tmp & /var/tmp usage warnings during large file upload

Hello, I have a cpanel sever we use with owncloud. We are getting disk usage warnings when trying to upload large files in owncloud for the /tmp folder and /var/tmp.

Used:	3.33 GB
Available:	289.18 MB
Total:	3.81 GB

We do not see this with files smaller than the /tmp folder partition size. I have a user trying to upload a 15GB data file. That is a lot larger than 3.81GB /tmp or /var/tmp partition. I'm thinking I need to move the /tmp & /var/tmp mount point a partition that is larger like the root. Here my partitions. Current Disk Usage Information

Any suggestions would be very helpful so users can upload a 15GB file. - Mike

  I'd suggest to use PHP's upload_tmp_dir.

  Thank you. I'll try that. It will likely be an easier fix to edit the php.ini then to move the /tmp folder mount. Thanks!

  Definitely easier and better practice as well. Keep in mind the following from PHP PHP: Description of core php.ini directives - Manual
