The default is usually /tmp, but this may vary on some systems. Read the man page for the "sort" program on your system. > And, is there any way to > determine approximately how much of temporary disk > space is required for the sort (like is it close to > the database file size it creates)? There are no hard and fast rules, but if you look at the size of the db.wordlist after htdig ran, and before htmerge runs, you need enough additional disk space to hold two more copies of it, one as the sort temporary files in TMPDIR, and one as the final db.wordlist in your database_dir, which is created in its entirety before the old one is removed. Often these two directories are on the same volume, as the rundig script sets TMPDIR to the database directory chosen at compile time. -- Gilles R.
