We did some testing and found that the upload isn't finishing because the file system that has the /tmp/ folder has too little space. I did a find for the .py files and greped for files containing /tmp/ and found that there are some files that have this path hardcoded in the scripts. We have the space on another file system that is located in /temp/galaxy_space. Is there anyway to change this configuration via a variable? If not, I'll try changing these locations manually to see if this fixes the problem.
Hi Hans, /tmp is hardcoded as a last result, but everything uses Python's tempfile module, which has a set list of methods for determining where to put stuff. The easiest solution is to set $TEMP in the shell before starting Galaxy. We do this now to place tempfiles on the same filesystem as the database/files/ directory for faster upload processing (i.e. moves during upload processing just update an inode instead of moving data). --nate
