Hi everyone,

forgive my ignorance, this is probably just a noob question, but is there any temp file size limit?

For some reasons, applications on my N900 suddenly stops writing files when they reach ~930 Kb (however this limit seems to differ sometimes): e.g. Wireshark stops capturing packets when that limit is reached, so does Ettercap. (rootfs has ~53 MB free, so that's not the problem)

Again, forgive me for the question and thanks for your time

/tmp is 1 MiB indeed.

What's the way to bypass it for ettercap and wireshark?

You can resize it (not 100% sure but be prepared for eMMC readonly issue)


sudo mount -o remount,size=32M /tmp
