How to extend /tmp size?
Dear all,
I wanna to extend my /tmp size. I deleted the all files of /tmp but it still shows there's no more space on it.
The OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5).

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# df /tmp/ -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      5.0G  4.9G     0 100% /

Please help,

Thanks

It isn't your /tmp that is full, but your / (root) filesystem. Try to find large files in / and deleting them if possible.

bluetorch is correct. your / filesystem is full. not the /tmp. /tmp is just a part of / filesystem. You might have some core dump files inside /.
