Under Fedora, one of my software requires more than 4Gb of temporary space and I realised that the /tmp directory is limited to 4Gb. In order to increase the /tmp directory, just edit the /etc/fstab file and add this line (to extend to 8Gb instead of 4Gb):
none /tmp tmpfs size=8G 0 0 |
Then, as root:
mount -a |
That’s it. You can check that you have now 8Gb available in /tmp by typing
df -h
