Hi, I need to un mount the /tmp folder for a server tweak I need to do. Can I do this while the server is live? Or alternatively can I run this without crashing the server? mount -o remount,exec /tmp Than change it back mount -o remount,noexec /tmp Thanks!

  Hi, This is not recommended and will definitely cause problems for MySql / MariaDB as well the sites writing temp session files to /tmp folder.

  Hello, Granting exec permissions to the /tmp partition shouldn't prevent any services from working. It simply makes the /tmp partition less secure for the duration it's mounted without the noexec option. Thank you.
