I've been running vmware server 2 for like 6 months now and all of a sudden this week I keep getting this error in VMware Infrastructure Web Access. Its a popup question with Ignore and Continue as the answers, the question is this:
msg.mainMemPosix.noSpace:The
directory "/tmp/vmware-root/" has less than 150 MB of free space.
Running out of free space in this directory may corrupt the virtual
machine's RAM. This is likely to cause the guest operating system to
crash.
To avoid these problems, VMware recommends you move or delete files to
free up space now. After you free up space, select "Continue".
To ignore this condition until you power off or suspend the virtual
machine, select "Ignore".
I've rebooted the guest and the host, the problem comes back within an hour. I did some research online and found some options to add to the .vmx file:
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
tmpDirectory = "/home/vmware/tmp"
workingDir = "."
Unfortunately none of these options helped. I also tried mount --bind /tmp/vmware-root to a different partition but the /tmp partition still fills up with invisible vmware files. How do I fix this problem?
