Hello all. I am having a problem installing a very large program. It wa= nts to extract itself to the /tmp directory but there is not enough space. I have a 30 Gb hard drive that is only 20% full so there is plenty of free space to work with. I've tried increasing the size of the file system as 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 as making the program think that /tmp is really somewhere else with more space? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
