VPS - [BAD]: Super user can't u/mount


Hey guys.

Having trouble with mySQL /tmp directory being to small. Need to resize the size from 16MB to something bigger.

Only problem is that it won't allow me to resize it.

Code:
root@robocop:/mnt# umount /tmp
umount: /tmp: must be superuser to umount
Code:
Trying to determine if something is using it.
root@robocop:/#  lsof |grep /tmp
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() usbfs file system /proc/bus/usb
      Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() xfs file system /var/lib/vservers/lv49
      Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() proc file system /var/lib/vservers/lv49/robocop/proc
      Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() tmpfs file system /var/lib/vservers/lv49/robocop/tmp
      Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() devpts file system /var/lib/vservers/lv49/robocop/de                                                                v/pts
Code:
root@robocop:/mnt# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdv1              10G  6.8G  3.3G  68% /
none                   16M     0   16M   0% /tmp

Im pretty sure there should be more space in the /tmp. Why can't I umount it.

Further more do you guys have any recommendation on /tmp handling.

BTW: Had an account here a while ago. Can't remember my password and mail server has closed down due to the economy.

'cause you don't have permission to. sounds like you should ask your VPS provider's support.

Does the root account really have UID 0? You can check with id. Maybe it's a special setup.

Thanks the VPS provider fixed it by combining the /tmp with the /dev/hdv1 filesystem
