Hi all,
I'm trying to watch a big video in Firefox, but video download always stops at around 300MB. I noticed that's what's available in /tmp:
Code: Select all
me@host ~ $ df -h | grep tmp
tmpfs 151M 372K 151M 1% /run
tmpfs 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 302M 32K 302M 1% /tmp
tmpfs 302M 0 302M 0% /run/shm
Swap space seems to be correctly mounted and activated:
Code: Select all
me@host ~ $ sudo swapon -s
[sudo] password for me:

I read suggestions on moving Firefox cache to a directory in the hard drive, but this would make it quite slower for not so huge files. I also read directions to increase the /tmp RAM file, but I'm afraid this would make other stuff suffer on lack of RAM (plus it involves creating scripts I'm not comfortable with yet).
What can I do?
