(That went OK) But when trying to unmount the /tmp file I found various processes are running - most kill off OK with Webmin users button - kill or terminate.<o:p></o:p> But one process remains which means I can’t unmount /tmp to resize it. The problem process, gamin, which won’t die short of it seems shooting it somewhere vulnerable in the hardware apparently. I have tried everything (as a serious new newbie here so may have missed something from “everything” ;-) ) I tried kill gamin at the prompt too – nothing happened, searched forums till I my finger tips are raw and my eyes strained.<o:p></o:p> I can't unmount the /tmp and resize it until I can get rid of this process and it's now holding up the rest of the project so any help would be most appreciated.<o:p></o:p> Paul <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </blockquote> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=1 width="100%" align=center> </div> This email transmission and any accompanying attachments may contain CSX privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the intended addressee.
