How do I change the tmp directory for K3B

[ntuple]

Hi All,

Though I change the default temporary directory in K3B settings, it keeps pointing to the small partition where the OS is installed rather than the larger one where I keep data.

Do I need to change the system tmp in some way or is there something I can do in K3b so I don't keep running into the "Free space in temporary folder" error ?

thanks,
P

It looks like k3b uses /tmp like most other programs. The best way to change /tmp size is to carve out a partition (mine is 15Gb) and mount it as /tmp

/dev/sdax /tmp   ext4    rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,bind    0 0

replace sdx with the partition where you want tmp to reside. I used ext2 for mine since tmp doesnt need any journaling

Thanks @vsreeser

I just downloaded GParted and will setup an ext2 from my existing larger partition and put tmp there.
