HI,
   I just recently received a message that my memory file system based
/tmp was full. I know that usuarlly when a file systems got full in
UNIX, the system tends to crash, but in my case nothing happened, (I
guess I had luck).
My question is, whether I can increase the size of the /tmp file
system without re-installing the machine, or what can I do about it?
