directory does not contain enough space to extract temp files even w/ 15gigs avail?
 
hello, I just did a fresh install of RHEL 6 and now im trying to install a piece of software and I consistently get "The directory /tmp/istempXXXX does not contain enough space to extract temporary files..." This is very strange since i checked the mount point and sure enough, theres 15Gigs avail. I dont beleive the temp files are larger than a few hundred MBs. i've also tried -is:tempdir option. no luck there. then i also tried updating all packages with yum, hoping maybe it was some java environment issue. no luck there too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated =)
Thanks in adv,
Phil

Hi TobiSGD, the output is

Code:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5              20G  4.8G  14G  27% /
tmpfs                  63G  368K  63G  1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1            1.2G  83M  1.1G  8% /boot
/dev/sda3            811G  3.0G  767G  1% /home
/dev/sda4              64G  180M  60G  1% /usr/local
/dev/sda2            7.7G  460M  6.9G  7% /var
/dev/sr0              3.4G  3.4G    0 100% /media/DATA_20120806
and i also double checked the mount point with
Code:
df -P /tmp | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 1
and the output is
Code:
/dev/sda5
hope this helps.

What is the output of
Code:
df -i
Do you have any kind of quota in use?

Hi,
the output is
Code:
Filesystem            Inodes  IUsed  IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda5            1281120  102289 1178831    8% /

/dev/sr0                200    200      0  100% /media/DATA_20120806
Im sorry Im not too sure what you mean by quota. Could you elaborate?

TobiSGD 09-05-2012 01:38 PM
If you don't know what a quota is (setting limits on disk usage for different users) you most likely won't have it set up on your system.

From the output you have shown us I can't see anything wrong with the system, it should work.
