To verify that, I tried compiling a c program and I got an error (after a few tries) saying that ld failed writing to /tmp The last few partitions of my hard drive are listed below: ... 7: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 opt 614400 @ 1823921 (300.0M) 8: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home 102400 @ 2438321 ( 50.0M) 9: Apple_HFS MacOS 11527935 @ 2540721 ( 5.5G) and the dirctory /tmp is on another partition on the same drive.
