cPanel’s new securetmp script is handy to prevent users from executing malicious code in \/tmp or \/var\/tmp but if your software is like a lot out there and doesn’t have any garbage collection, you’ll find your \/tmp partition filling up quickly. By default, cPanel’s script uses a limit of 512MB, and for those with large session data files (storing image data, for instance) this amount is fairly small. I played around with the script and although the 512MB value is easily changed, a good amount of the code would have to be tweaked in order to re-do an existing secured \/tmp.<\/p>\n

So en lieu of that, I have included below the sequence of commands I used to expand the “partition” to 1GB. I quote it because it’s not really a partition in the normal sense, but a 1GB file mounted as a loop block device. Note that in the instructions below I only stop MySQL, which is due the mysql.sock file it uses, however you will want to stop any other processes using \/tmp as well. You can find these by running lsof|grep \/tmp and using the output PID\/process name to stop accordingly (commonly you will also need to stop the cpanel and apache services as well).<\/p>\n

Here are the steps:
\n
\n# \/etc\/init.d\/mysql stop
\n# cp -af \/var\/tmp \/var\/tmp.bak
\n# umount \/var\/tmp
\n# umount \/tmp
\n# rm -f \/usr\/tmpDSK
\n# dd if=\/dev\/zero of=\/usr\/tmpDSK bs=1024 count=1048576
\n# mkfs \/usr\/tmpDSK
\n# tune2fs -j \/usr\/tmpDSK
\n# mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,noexec,loop \/usr\/tmpDSK \/tmp
\n# mount -o bind,noexec,nosuid \/tmp \/var\/tmp
\n# cp -a \/var\/tmp.bak\/* \/tmp\/
\n# rm -rf \/var\/tmp.bak\/
\n# chmod 1777 \/tmp
\n# \/etc\/init.d\/mysql start
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

You should now see the increase \/tmp partition size:
\n
\nroot@server [~]# df -h|grep tmp
\n\/usr\/tmpDSK 1006M 13M 993M 1% \/tmp<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
