From rc.conf(5):

(bool) Set to ``YES'' to have /tmp cleaned at startup.

Why not setup a parallel (background) task with a wrapper script to delete some files when upgrading ports? Either that or find a (more) free partition and symlink /var/tmp to it.



yeah out of all the ideas this seems the easiest to implement and just makes sense but I am having difficulties creating the sym link for /tmp

ns1# df -k
Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a    507630  163076    303944    35%    /
devfs               1       1         0   100%    /dev
/dev/ad0s1e    507630      -6    467026    -0%    /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 150732286 7152956 131520748     5%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1d   2011694  129230   1721530     7%    /var
ns1# umount /dev/ad0s1e
umount: unmount of /tmp failed: Device busy
ns1#

clues please?

Cheers,

Like many things, when playing with a live filesystem your hands are pretty much tied. Booting into single user mode and remounting your / slice fixes that though ;).
