| What's in there? Is /tmp on its own partition? How large is it?

| Either reduce the amount of data going into /tmp by finding out what exactly is consuming it. Or increase the size of the /tmp partition.

| Find out what exactly is filling the tmp partition. It may be temporary files or cache from some applications like eAccelerator.

| Maybe it is possible to set a cron to delete files older than 1 day?

| All you have to do is to add a cron job to run a tmpwatch script every hr, to clear off entries in /tmp folder which are older than an hour or so...

The partition where your tmp resides might be running out
of free space.
You can release free space from that partition by doing
'tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdXn'
Careful if this tmp resides on / as you have to give back
the 4% disk space you have retrived by running tune2fs
again.

Delete all the files owned by nobody.nobody in /tmp this will reolve this issue
