How to Increase Disk Space for /tmp in VM ?

user8860348Jan 28 2016 — edited Jan 28 2016

Folks,

Hello. I am using VM Player 3. My host machine is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5.10. 

When I copy a file (1.2GB) from Host machine to VM, the error message comes up:

" Cannot write file to Virtual Machine.Aborting the file copy operation."

For being able to copy the file into virtual machine, it needs about 2GB of free disk space for /tmp folder.

I have cleaned all files in the directory /tmp that is now empty. After that, I have run the cammand:

$df -h /tmp

Its output:

File System: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

Size: 95G

Used: 90G

Avail: 48M

Use%: 100%

Mounted On: /

As you see above, there is only 48M disk space available, the file size is 1.2GB to be copied.

My question is:

How to increase disk space for "Avail:48M" for /tmp dircetory in VM Oracle Linux 5.1 so that can copy file ?

Thanks in advance.
