Hi!

We changed
TempDirectories = /u0/firebird3_temp
in the firebird.conf, but we still got an

"I/O error during "write" operation for file "/tmp/fb_table_C3Bpcz"
Error while trying to write to file
No space left on device."

error message.

How this is possible? When /u0/firebird3_temp has not enough space still tries to write to /tmp?
Ot there are features, where this parameter is not respected?

Thank you!

   fb_table_XXX files is GTT storage and TempDirectories never used for GTT storage placement.

  If you use FB4, set TempTableDirectory setting. Else you may set FIREBIRD_TMP envvar for Firebird process.

Regards,
Vlad
