[SOLVED] Problem with import big OVF file

[cazz]

Hi
I trying to import a VM that have export from my vmware to my new promox.
But the problem is the /temp is to small size so I have to store it somewhere else when I then trying to import OVF file to local-lvm.
Any idea how to fix that?

Do you mean /tmp ?

Do you have somewhere where there will be enough space?

There are a few tricks you can do to fake free space. For example if you have a second disk that is mounted to /data, you can
mv /tmp /tmp.old
mkdir /data/tmp
ln -s /data/tmp /tmp
after you are done
rm /tmp
mv /tmp.old /tmp

Note that this is very high level and assumes you know what you are doing. Dont do anything if you are not sure.
