Now as you can see the the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">LV</st1:place></st1:City> seems to be correct at 2GB but now (having started vmware up again now) the /tmp file reports 400mb used and 1.3GB free. Slightly odd as it now seems to be using less actual space on /tmp than before (450MB before) the total of that comes to1.7GB not the 2GB for the LV. This is slightly unusual too in that last night pre vmware recompile/start it reported a total of 1.5gb<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Not quite sure what’s going on, it is working now due to the extra space so to an extent the problem has been solved but I am definitely curious to know why it doesn’t use all of the LV and indeed seems to be reporting a different /tmp size almost based on time of day and how it feels rather than a fixed setting.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Best Regards,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Paul<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: Lamon, Frank III [mailto:Frank_LaMon@CSX.com] Sent: 25 January 2006 02:41 To: paul@its-magic.net Subject: RE: [rhn-users] Gamin /tmp expand problem<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> There is only an ext2online command (ext3 is just an ext2 filesystem with a journal).

(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.
