i tried doing with ln -s /root/tmp /edc/file/tmp..but still my /tmp throwing error cannot continue installation..

can you please help how can i achieve this.

Thanks

/tmp is for temporary storage. See if it is cluttered up with stuff not needed anymore. If that is not the case, have it increased. Do not try to re-route it.

To link a directory /x/y to filesystem /z, do

ln -s /x/y /z/y

Anything that is written to /z/y will end up in filesystem /x.
