Hello, I'm running an updated wheezy and today faced with this little problematic.
While running Midnight Commander to open (on-the-fly decompression for browsing the archive) the kernel source package (a ~75 MiB .tar.bz2 file) I got this error: http://picpaste.com/mc-error-YXdyRawO.gif My Atom based netbook is not a powerful system but has 2 GiB of ram and 250 hard disk so, what was happening? "df -H" told me: S.ficheros Tamaño Usado Disp Uso% Montado en /dev/sda2 247G 7,7G 239G 4% / tmpfs 5,3M 4,1k 5,3M 1% /lib/init/rw tmpfs 212M 664k 211M 1% /run tmpfs 5,3M 0 5,3M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 423M 423M 0 100% /tmp <--- here! udev 1,1G 0 1,1G 0% /dev tmpfs 423M 238k 423M 1% /run/shm Okay, so /tmp is full. Fine. I know how to solve it but I can foresee more situations like this in the future so some questions arise. As the current tmpfs default settings for /tmp seem a bit "unrealistic" (just % 20 of the RAM?) for even doing common tasks: 1/ How many room should be set for a "/tmp" partition? I never had it one so I can't make any good estimation. 2/ Would be better to simply disable tmpfs for "/tmp"? This is how I've been doing all these years.
