Change size of /tmp | yaourt no space left on device

[Evils]

Hi,

I always get the following error message when trying to install plex media server on my PogoPlug device through yaourt:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/lib/yaourt/pkgbuild.sh: line 176: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device
')

looking into df -h revealed that my /tmp partition is only 60mb big while the spk downloaded through yaourt is already 90mb big, therefore it always fails at 59.xmb

Now normally I would go into my fstab and change the size of my /tmp partition, unfortunately with Arch Linux ARM, there's no such entry (actually, why?!).

So how can I change the size of my tmpfs?!

Thanks

Plex is in our repos
/tmp is in tmpfs (ram) so ypu can't change the size of it
You can mask it with systemctl mask tmp.mount so tmp will be on hdd
Yaourt has a setting where you can choose your temporary directory

I must have overseen it the first time, luckily the Arch Linux wiki gives a solution:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he tmpfs can also be temporarily resized without the need to reboot, for example when a large compile job needs to run soon. In this case, you can run:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# mount -o remount,size=4G,noatime /tmp')

If you have 16GB of ram that is fine. Otherwise you will need swap that is 4GB, which is worse than just masking tmp.mount

Well, if you look at the wiki page, you'll clearly see that I only copied the example.
Nevertheless, I only needed to raise it to 1GB and my swap file was big enough for that. Did the trick for me, though, what you said
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl mask tmp.mount') didn't work as it only created a symlink to /dev/null for that file and I couldn't find an option with packer to set the tmp directory.

I appreciate your answer and I'm sure it's the better solution, though the one I used and found seems easier and more universal without having to tweak with settings and such things

No worries.

After you mask it, you need to reboot. Now your /tmp is a regular directory.
