Increase /tmp size temporarily
Hi all

system Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a X86
ufs file system

I would like to install SunStudio.

After the gui comes up it shows that i need to add swap space of at least 900m.
the command swap-s shows 880m free.

My question is can you temporarily increase swap by 1 or 2 gig, and have it removed after a reboot.

If this is not possible can i create a swap on another hard drive and make it permanent.

Thank you for your time
Kevin

Code:
mkfile 2048m /temp_swap && swap -a /temp_swap

Optionally you can add the respective entry to /etc/vfstab

/tmp
Thank you for the command. I added it to vstab, rebooted the unit.
swap -s shows the increase in swap space.

error
insufficient disk space in /tmp please set -tempdir to a location with at least 700m

again thank you for help

There was no need to reboot, swap increases are taken into account immediately. Perhaps the issue is a "size=xx" option set for /tmp in your /etc/vfstab file.
