Cannot write to tmp directory file corruption even if there is space available? Follow step by step to solve such issues.
Sometimes particularly if the /tmp directory gets full on your server, the underlying tmpDSK file can get corrupted. If this occurs you will not be able to write to the /tmp directory even if there is space available.
To fix this do the following:
Login to your server via SSH then type the following commands:
lsof /tmp
umount -l /tmp
umount -l /var/tmp
# This command removes the corrupt partition file
rm -fv /usr/tmpDSK
# Create a nice new one
/scripts/securetmp
If you wish to increase your tmp directory size, you can change the value inside the /scripts/securetmp file before running it - search for $tmpdsksize
