1) you can buy another disk
2) you can buy more memory and use memory backed md (4) /tmp
3) you can make symbolic link from /tmp to some other place
4) you can check your application, which request big /tmp and tell this 
app about other location for temporary space
 4a) You may consider changing your application. For example uw-imap 
needs big /tmp for big imap folders, but courier or cyrus does not.
5) if you have spare disk and time you can boot from CD and manually 
repartition your primary disk, using spare disk as backup and temporary 
space.
