- Our root file system is nearly full. Thus it overflows periodically since
- vi and mail have /tmp hardcoded in them for creating temporary files.
-
- What problems might arise if we did the following?
-
- mv tmp tmp.save
- ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp
-
- One problem I foresee is that /usr is not mounted in single user mode.
-
- Thanks!
