I know it's a stupid question, but I would appreciate some suggestions.
Recently, the development team here got into some problems when the /tmp
directory got full. It's in the root partition which is only 64Mb (By the
way, why is that partition so small by default ?)
To remedy the problem, I placed a symlink from /tmp to /u01/tmp which is on
a bigger partition. Is this a viable solution ? Is there a more standard
mechanism to move the teporary directory ?
Also, what are the use of /usr/tmp and /var/tmp directories ?
I would also like to know which mechanism decides the location for the
temporary directory to use when a users logs in ? Is there an environment
variable or a setting for this ?
TIA !
