Dear debian-users, The disk space for my root-partition is 40 MB, while I supplied 80 MB for my /var-partition. I would like to make a symbolic link from /tmp, which resides in the root partition, to /var.
This was my plan: 1. Copying /tmp to /var/tmp.root (with /var/tmp.root being created) 2. Deleting /tmp 3. Doing ln -s /var/tmp.root/ /tmp/ Even the first step didn't succeed - it said: Omitting file ... Nothing happened, but then again I might have done something stupid. Please can you show me a way to make sure that my /tmp-files will be going to /var? - My concern is that /tmp might be getting too big for /, thus I would like to have all temporary files to go into /var. Thanks in advance, Andreas.
