Hi,
   I decided to format my PC and reinstall everything. I have Ubuntu 12.04LTS installed in one 1TB hard drive (/ and swap) and the /home folder installed in a 3TB hard drive. I created a /tmp partition of 110GB and a /tmp partion of 110GB, both in the 1TB HD. Then I mounted /tmp as /tmpfs using fstab. Here is the df -h output:
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2       817G  3.9G  771G   1% /
udev             12G  4.0K   12G   1% /dev
tmpfs           100G   16K  100G   1% /tmp
tmpfs           4.8G  992K  4.8G   1% /run
none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none             12G  148K   12G   1% /run/shm
/dev/sdb2       2.6T   99G  2.4T   4% /home
/dev/sdc1       1.9T  1.6T  301G  84% /media/My Book
  Then I try to upload files as administrator on my local instance of galaxy and it fails. Since I even have a swap partition with 100GB and using the /tmp partition I don't know why it is not working. What I notice is that it is using the /tmpfs mounted on /run, which is only 4.8GB. I also tried to change universe.ini to use /tmp as temporary files storage:
# Temporary files are stored in this directory.
new_file_path = /tmp

 I can upload files that are smaller than 4.8GB, but not bigger than it. Previously it was working fine on the other Ubuntu version.  I was using /tmp as tmpfs, but I don't know how to configure the Galaxy to use the the tmpfs mounted at /tmp and not the tmpfs mounted at /run. I asked similar question before and I was able to fix it on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but now Ubuntu have this tmpfs mounted on /run, which is not in fstab.
   Thank you.

Luciano
