Well you can run `lsof | grep tmp` to see what programs have files open 
in tmp.  Kill them (if appropriate / possible), then unmount tmp, resize 
at will, and then restart the things you killed.  Alternatively, comment 
it out from /etc/fstab, reboot, resize, uncomment, and run `mount /tmp`.

Best of luck,
