Mosaic operates in the following way when retrieving a compressed binary file :
- retrieves a compressed file A.Z in Mosaic's work area (usually /var/tmp)
- spawns uncompressto create an uncompressed file A
- prompts you for the destination file name (B)
- moves A to B
If there is not enough space in the work area (although there is in your destination scratchdir,
Mosaic will fail on uncompressing, and you will be left with file A.Z (where A is a funny-looking
unpredictable numeric name) in the work area. You may uncompress, move and remove it manually.
However it is best to avoid this situation, checking there is adequate space in /var/tmp
(default work area), and if not, telling Mosaic at startup to use a different work area either:
