fedora's /tmp uses tmpfs ; it's mounted by systemd at boot time. see `systemctl status tmp.mount` and `/usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount.d/30_qubes.conf to increase its size alternatively you can increase the size afterwards with mount -o remount,size=5G /tmp/ if you need to have a disk based tmp you'll have to mask the systemd unit (`systemctl mask tmp.mount`) and put a fstab entry for /tmp ; but maybe it'll break stuff... no idea about how to increase swap from dom0 on R3.2 ; alternatively you can add swap with a file inside the vm but it's a bit ugly: dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=1000 mkswap swapfile swapon swapfile hope this helps ivan > > Thanks in advance. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
