Migrate Virtual Server runs out of disk space on the root partition

I'm trying to migrate a large backup from DirectAdmin but when I run it, Virtualmin tries to extract the tarball to /tmp/. This partition only has a few GB of free space. The migration fails and Virtualmin crashes because it can't write to the /tmp/ directory.

Can I set the restore process to extract to the same directory as the tar file or is there some other option here?

Howdy,

One way to solve that would be to change Webmin's temp directory.

To do that, you can go into Webmin -> Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Advanced Options, and there, you can select your preferred temp directory.

Damn - new error:

 Cannot open: No space left on device /bin/tar

Can I do something similar for this tmp dir?

Hmm, when are you seeing that particular error?

So this is at the beginning of a directadmin migration during the initial "verifying" phase. It looks like the files are extracted somewhere (I can see the old file paths in the error) and checked. The migration fails with the path from the tarball domains/domain.com/path/to/file and the message above. Its late here but I can run it again in the morning and paste the full error if needed.

Yeah the full output and error might be helpful.

Also, what is the output of the command "df -h"?

Thanks Eric, the tar.gz file is 153gb (mostly due to pesky images I dont even need on the new box).

Do I need to re-partition to make 160gb free on root?
