Hello! I have the problem with free space in /tmp directory. Some program write a lot of data in directory mounted to other partition, not /tmp. Possible, a data compressed before writing, I think, throw device like /dev/gzip or similar. When writing goes on, free space on /tmp by 'df' command desreased, but 'ls -l' command show nothing in /tmp dir, no one file. If I think right, writing and reading to/from /dev/gzip in program performed by creating pipe. Does kernel write 'raw' data to /tmp or in file? Where pipes stored - in memory or in disk? How I can avoid of partition overflow?
