linux + increase temporary the /tmp partition for installation

  • 772

I have linux VM machines with version red-hat 4

I have the following file system

df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             950M  163M  739M  19% /
/dev/sda1             130M   13M  118M  10% /boot
none                  2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6              96M   18M  899M   2% /tmp
/dev/sda3             2.8G  1.2G  1.5G  44% /usr
/dev/sda5               5G  152M  765M  17% /var

I need to install some oracle KIT that need /tmp at least 2G , while my free /tmp is 96M

Can someone advice what my alternative? In order to install my oracle KIT

Not sure but I was thinking about to create link from /tmp to /usr but I guess I will stay with the same problem , or maybe some other creative solution ?

Please advice

  1. 899M available of 96M size /tmp doesn't make sense, nor does 765M available of 5G /var. Is your table correct?

    None of your file systems say 2G free. Free up space or make bigger partitions.

    If some of /var frees up, a symlink from /var/tmp to /tmp may work. Perhaps some deleted files are still open, reboot.
