How to Increase Disk Space for /tmp in Virtual Machine ?

$

Folks,

Hello. I am using VM Player 3. My host machine is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5. I used to copy files from Host machine to VM successfully. But now, when I copy a file from Host machine to VM, the error message comes up:

 

" Cannot write file to Virtual Machine.Aborting the file copy operation."

 

For being able to copy the file into virtual machine, it needs about 2GB of free disk space for /tmp folder.

 

I have run the cammand:

$df -h /tmp

 

Its output:

File System: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

Size: 95G

Used: 90G

Avail: 48M

Use%: 100%

Mounted On: /

 

As you see, there is only 48M disk space available after I cleaned all files in the directory /tmp that is now empty.

 

My question is:

How to increase disk space for "Avail:48M" in /tmp directory so that can copy file from Host to VM ?

 

Thanks in advance.
