Centos – Increase TMP size Centos 6.5 whm/cpanel

centostmp

I'd like to increase it from 2G to 10G

Using CENTOS 6.5 WHM 11.40.1 (build 11)

I have tried:

#vi /scripts/securetmp
and looked for a line like “my $tmpdsksize”

its not there.
But this is what is in my securetmp file:

use Cpanel::SafeRun::Simple ();
my $logger = Cpanel::Logger->new();
$| = 1;
if ( -e ‘/var/cpanel/version/securetmp_disabled’ ) {
print “[securetmp] Disabled per /var/cpanel/version/securetmp_disabled\n”;
exit;
}
my $system = $^O;
my $has_loop_device = 0;

I have also looked at fstab:

Here's my df -h:

Caveat: I'm not familiar enough with cpanel to know why it would have anything to do with growing a partition. This is standard advice for any system using phyiscal partitions instead of LVM.

Think of physical partitions like songs on a record. To increase the partition boundary of /tmp which is on partition 3, you will move the end boundary across where partition 4 starts. Hopefully, you can understand why this would be a bad thing.

What you would need to do is create a new partition -- partition 6 after the last one, and mount this to /tmp. This will require you to have 10G free unallocated space. We'll need to see fdisk -l to know if you do or not.
