increase tmp size?
I was trying to alter a mysql database and got the following error which means my tmp directory ran out of space.
#3 - Error writing file '/tmp/STTh2eeC' (Errcode: 28)
I guess I need to increase the size of the tmp folder. I have a whole extra unpartitioned harddrive I could do something with but am clueless as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

df -h is easier to read
well 1% use doesn't seem that bad, what are the permissions on your temp folder? maybe if its a really big table then it may be causing problems, so what is the size of the table (columns and rows)
and if you need to change the drive that tmp is on, just use cfdisk to partition it, and then run one of mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.reiserfs, then add it to your /etc/fstab, at least that's what i do on slackware, not sure what distro you have

the stupidest thing you can do (a lot of people does it) is
write in /tmp
/tmp is a system file, a file for system-user !!! you are not a system-user.
the only save place ou have for writing is........$HOME
who garantee you can write /tmp/what-ever-you-want???
who say you /tmp/what-ever-you-want is NOT still present += owned by an other user ?
who say you /tmp/what-ever-you-want HAS not the worng perms or file type ?
please be save, forget /tmp make your own tmp dir
