How to increase the disk space on tmp?

[Divvy]

Hi guys,

Can someone help me?
How can I increase the disk space on tmp?
I have only 500MB and is not enough when the system tries to make the backups...
What value do you recommend?

Can someone give me the exactly ssh commands to do that? Thanks :-)

I tried this tutorials:

http://blog.shineservers.com/how-to-increase-size-of-vartmp-and-tmp-centos/

But without luck...

My /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/securetmp content:

root@server [~]# vi /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/securetmp
#!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl

use Cpanel::DiskLib ();
use Getopt::Long;

use Cpanel::SafeRun::Errors ();
use Cpanel::SafeRun::Simple ();

my $logger = Cpanel::Logger->new();

$| = 1;

if ( -e '/var/cpanel/version/securetmp_disabled' ) {
print "[securetmp] Disabled per /var/cpanel/version/securetmp_disabled\n";
exit;
"/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/securetmp" 681L, 21312C

Hi,


Someone told me to try this command:

nano +148 /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/securetmp

But "trying" is a strong word... don't want to "try" ssh commands, I need to have sure that really works.


Can someone tell me if this command is safe?


The problem is that I cant find the line to edit:
$tmpdsksize = 512000;


Using the command:

# nano /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/securetmp

Or

# pico /scripts/securetmp

Where could this line be hidden!? Any ideas?


Thanks!

The problem was me... I forgot to scroll down the file lol :-)
Btw, I changed to 10GB but only appears 4GB. Is 4GB the maximum size that $tmpdsksize can handle?

I need a bigger value because tmp partition goes full when the scheduled backup runs. I think that is because Im using the remote ftp. Is there any alternative solution for me?

Thanks!

Follow this guide, it's the one I use when doing exactly this.Increase /tmp partition size in cPanel and secure it » VPS.NET Public Knowledge Base

Thank you for your reply :-)
But as you can see above, this was fixed already.

But I made a new question:

Name this (for instruction purpose) to extend.sh (anywhere)

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
cp -af /var/tmp /var/tmp.bak
umount /var/tmp
umount /tmp
rm -f /usr/tmpDSK
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/tmpDSK bs=10240 count=1048576
mkfs /usr/tmpDSK
tune2fs -j /usr/tmpDSK
mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,noexec,loop /usr/tmpDSK /tmp
mount -o bind,noexec,nosuid /tmp /var/tmp
cp -a /var/tmp.bak/* /tmp/
rm -rf /var/tmp.bak/
chmod 1777 /tmp
/etc/init.d/mysql start

Now do this

chmod +x extend.sh
sh extend.sh

Thats it
