Hey, the following line in fstab used to work just fine for my /tmp: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,size=1g,mode=1777 0 0 But since I upgraded to 8.2-PRERELEASE, /tmp will soon run out of space (usually after leaving the box overnight). % df /tmp Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on tmpfs 12 12 0 100% /tmp Yes, what you see here, is not "stuff" filling up the /tmp partition, *BUT* the /tmp partition shrinking to a ridiculous size. /tmp only has the usual stuff on it, as I can now no longer create temporary files there: % du /tmp 4 /tmp/.X11-unix 0 /tmp/.XIM-unix 0 /tmp/.ICE-unix 0 /tmp/.font-unix 4 /tmp/ssh-tEgl0QxQHp 4 /tmp/ksocket-uqs 12 /tmp/kde-uqs 4 /tmp/fam-uqs 8 /tmp/.vbox-uqs-ipc 0 /tmp/worker-uqs 44 /tmp Anything I could try?

Luckily I could bandaid this by unionfs mounting an mfs disk over /tmp so programs continue to run. But, tmpfs really is out of resources, as I cannot create new tmpfs's for example: root@elmar: ~# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /media mount: tmpfs : No space left on device And besides, the /tmp mount comes up fine and shows enough free space (I checked this the last time, after I had rebooted the box).
