  Hello :) Please post the output from:
  mount|grep tmp stat /tmp
  Also, do you receive any error messages when creating a file in the /tmp directory? EX:
  touch /tmp/cptest123
  Thank you.

  The output indicates your out of disk space or inodes on the tmp directory. You can verify this via:
  df -h df -i
  These threads should help: Tmpwatch Tmpwatch Cron Job Thank you.
