My /usr/tmpDSK is getting almost full, and I am getting a warn about that. I have followed this tutorial" [Removed - Outdated] I have increased the $tmpdsksize= to a value around 8 gb everything looks ok, when i check to my WHM disk usage I see that nothing has changed. Even if i redo the process to see if the charges were saved, there looks ok, What I should do?

  Hello, Please follow below steps to increase the /tmp disk space : So log into SSH and SU to root so we may being! cd /dev
  Create 100MB file for our /tmp partition. If you need more space, make count size larger. dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpMnt bs=1024 count=100000
  Make an extended filesystem for our tmpMnt file /sbin/mke2fs /dev/tmpMnt
  Backup your /tmp dir- I had mysql.sock file that I needed to recreate the symbolic link for. Other programs may use it to store cache files or whatever. cd / cp -R /tmp /tmp_backup
  Mount the new /tmp filesystem with noexec mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /dev/tmpMnt /tmp chmod 1777 /tmp
  Copy everything back to new /tmp and remove backup cp -R /tmp_backup/* /tmp/ rm -rf /tmp_backup
  Now we need to add this to fstab so it mounts automatically on reboots. vi /etc/fstab
  You should see something like this: /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
  At the bottom add /dev/tmpMnt /tmp ext2 loop,noexec,nosuid,rw 0 0
  Save the file Now you can check your /tmp disk space is increases. :)

  Hello :) The securetmp script will utilize 1% of disksize with a minimum of 500M and a maximum of 4G, based on the available space on the /usr partition (where the tmpDSK file is stored). You are welcome to manually create a /tmp partition if you prefer to use a larger size. Thank you.

  Thank you for your reply, I tried to follow the steps and when i reached at: vi /etc/fstab
  I did not received the end results showed. Once it asked me to use [QUOTE]tune2fs -c
  to overwrite it and now i keep getting cp: overwrite. see the attached picture please!.vB

  Hello, /tmp writing process running on server that why you face this issue. Please stop all services then try to backup the /tmp file. If still face issue then run below command : lsof |grep /tmp
  you will see what processes are still writing and you can kill them: kill -9 PID. or do umount -l /tmp umount -l /var/tmp
  Then try to backup the your tmp directory and proceed for further steps. Thanks

  Thank you for your reply but i still have not yet resolved it. It keeps increasing, I contacted my compamy where I got the vps and here is their reply: [QUOTE] In your particular case we notice around 4 gb of data at /tmp/eaccelerator when you might want to have a look and delete if you think it is not of any use to you.
  Can you tell me please how to access /tmp/eaccelerator and see what files are there?

  You could modify the following line in your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file: eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/eaccelerator"
  To: eaccelerator.cache_dir="/home/eaccelerator"
  Then run the following commands: mv /tmp/eaccelerator /home/ /scripts/restartsrv_httpd
  Thank you.
