need more tmp space
I've just installed a DVD drive but cannot copy any DVD's because k3b says it doesn't have enough space in /tmp. I assume it will need 4+ Gig to load in the whole DVD file.
I have the following setup:
crashedagain@desktop:~$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8 4330736 3305380 805364 81% /
/dev/hda1 4798736 4305360 493376 90% /mnt/hda1
/dev/hda5 3125220 2521548 444916 86% /mnt/hda5
/dev/hda7 26537392 10462432 16074960 40% /mnt/hda7
crashedagain@desktop:~$
hda1 is windows O/S, not much used. hda7 is vfat data drive. hda 5& hda8 contain linux operating systems (no data). Currently running kanotix bh9a on hda8.
As can be seen, there is enough space on hda7 for whatever k3b needs but the question is 1) can k3b use a vfat drive for it's temp and 2) how do I tell k3b to put it's temp file on hda7.
I don't really want to repartition to leave a huge amount of MT space on hda8 as most of the time it will be unused.
Suggestions??

CrashedAgain,
( 1 ) you may want to use the df -h command, it will output your DiskFree in "human" form: like this...
Code:
root@morpheus:/# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 8.0G 3.0G 5.1G 37% /
/dev/hda5 29G 1.2G 28G 5% /home
( 2 ) and, lastly, yes, you can re-direct k3b, or so I found ( not sure if it will work, but it allows you too )... Go to k3b, and select "Settings", then select "Configure k3b", then "Misc" - at the top you can change where K3b will use for "Default Temporary Directory"
Hope this helps,
Ms. Cuddles

Thanks Cuddles. Don't know why I didn't see the setup option earlier...it's just too obvious I guess. and it does work just fine with temp set to a vfat drive.
