/tmp directory in Linux Android SDK

Question

Just to tinker with it, last night I installed the Android Studio/SDK, and both during install and use, it repeatedly blew my 2Gb /tmp partition. Is there any way to tell t

Answer 1

You can use a file for your /tmp:

as root:

create a file the desired size ((example for a 10 GiB /tmp size):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/your/tmp_dir bs=1024M count=10

create a filesystem on it:

mke2fs -j /path/to/your/tmp_dir

the partition is ready, mount it:

mount -t ext3 -o loop /path/to/your/tmp_dir /tmp
