I am having a problem installing a very large program. It wa= nts=20 to extract itself to the /tmp directory but there is not enough space. I= =20 have a 30 Gb hard drive that is only 20% full so there is plenty of free=20 space to work with. I've tried increasing the size of the file system as= =20 follows: umount -f /dev/ad0s1f growfs -s 4194304 /dev/ad0s1f I get an error similar to the following: file system not grown (137xxxx -> 137xxxx) [not sure of the exact values= ] Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or is there another work around= such=20 as making the program think that /tmp is really somewhere else with more=20 space? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
