    I am getting the following errors on /tmp filesystem

    File system inode map is corrupt (NOT FIXED)
    • Phase 5 - Check block allocation map
    Block allocation map is corrupt (NOT FIXED)
    Block allocation map is corrupt

    but when boot into the maintainance mode and run fsck /tmp its giving no errors, I even ran the fsck -y /tmp, even formatted the log device. In Maintainance mode I am not getting any error. But when reboot the user in to maintainance mode and run fsck /tmp, its giving same errors again.

    Please suggest how to approach this problem.

    Why are you doing fsck on a live (mounted) filesystem? Fsck outputs from a mounted FS is usually not reliable and typically only confuse people more. Are you getting some error messages saying /tmp has issues? If not, since your maintenance mode fsck came back clean, you should not worry about this.

    Actually WAS install is failing with error:

    /tmp required: 200MB
    available:0MB

    although we have 2 GB free in /tmp, this error prompted me to run fsck on /tmp. I tried it on other file systems also other file systems returned clean output. This is troubling me ...........

    It looks like you have hit a ulimit, try reducing the size of /tmp to less than 2gb or increasing ulimit to unlimited
