Hello -
Our /tmp directory is on the same disk as / . / often fills up because /tmp
gets alot of output from our primary business application. We can't change
where the application writes to (i.e. -- we can't make it write to someplace
other than /tmp). I'd like to put /tmp on another disk that has alot more
space. Root (/) is UFS, everything else is AdvFS. One solution we've
kicked around is to make a subdirectory someplace else on a disk that has
alot more room and making a link (ln -s) from /tmp to the new subdirectory.
I'm not too familiar with file systems, domains, mount point, etc. Is this
a reasonable solution? Would I be better off making /tmp it's own mount
point (if so should it be AdvFS) ? Most of the AdvFS stuff is part of a
raid0+1 (LSM). I have a number of spare 2gb AdvFS partitions available that
I can allocate if need be. Have I explained this clearly at all?
our /etc/fstab:
root_domain#root/ advfs rw 1 0
/dev/vol/rootdg/swapvol swap1ufs sw 0 2
/proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
usr_domain#usr /usr advfs rw 1 0
home_domain#users /home advfs rw 1 0
disk01#u01 /disk01 advfs rw 1 0
disk02#u02 /disk02 advfs rw 1 0
disk03#u03 /disk03 advfs rw 1 0
disk04#u04 /disk04 advfs rw 1 0

tmp is under /. I was thinking of making a tmp directory under /desik04 and
making a link from /tmp to /disk04/tmp (ln -s /disk04/tmp /tmp). Can I do
this in multi-user mode with users logged in or do I need to (or just
should) be in single-user mode?
Thank you very much!
