# Troubleshooting
## Not enough space when using encryption
When using --encrypt, the data is encrypted to a temporary directory $TMP_DIR, when using --decrypt the encrypted date is copied to the $TMP_DIR and then decrypted.
The $TMP_DIR defaults to /tmp/mksynk and /tmp is usually limited to half the size of your memory.
You change the $TMP_DIR in the script in /usr/bin/msynk or temporarily increase the size of the tmpfs by running "sudo mount -o remount,size=XXG,noatime /tmp" if your $TMP_DIR is on /tmp and you have at least XXGB memory+swap space.
