Check your temp partitions...
What makes you believe this has something to do with /tmp?
Just curious...
He didn't read the whole message, saw disk full and said oh, his temp
partition is overflowing.
The correct answer here is that you have to do an fsck. The best solution
is to just be at the console of the machine, where you can boot into
single user mode and run the fsck.
If that is not an option you'll need to make sure everyone is off the
machine (Maintenance window?), stop all the services except the network
services and sshd then remount the partition readd only and run the fsck.
quick rundown of commands:
rc-update show
/etc/init.d/service stop #for each non-repair essential service
ps auwx #to verify that all the services are stopped that need to be
mount -o remount,ro /
fsck.ext3 /dev/hdxy
mount -o remount,rw /
/etc/init.d/services start #for each service you stopped
At the end of this I really prefer doing a reboot (And fsck may tell you a
reboot is required).
Might want to test the procedure a few times on a non-critical machine,
but that should get you through the process.
