Question : Attempting to move /tmp directory to another partition.
Working with redhat linux 5 32-bit. I'm trying to move the /tmp folder to another partition to give it more space so I executed the following command:
sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sda6 /tmp (see attached image for a screenshot of the session).
However when I do a df -k now, the /tmp folder shows up under both the /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6 partitions. Also a can't open up the system manager or a new terminal session so overall the system appears to be pretty hosed. This is a vmware image and I have a backup so restoring it back isn't an issue but I'd like to figure out how to successfully move the folder to the new partition.

Answer : Attempting to move /tmp directory to another partition.
edit the /etc/fstab, remove the line /dev/sda5..../tmp
and, then run mount -a
If you could not edit the fstab do the repair:
#mount -w -o remount /
and edit fstab
