/tmp filling

[Nutz]

I've got an issue regarding the /tmp directory filling.

My setup has /opt on an array, and the rest on a 65 gig partition. I noticed today that the /tmp dir is pushing over 45 gigs.

Any ideas? Like can I empty it perhaps?

Thank you,
Nutz

Could we see the output of: ls -la on that folder?
As well as: lsof | grep "/tmp"

Aww...

Lots of entries similar to this:

and lsof fallows:

With zimbra shut down - check for the biggest one's (you can also attach it in a .txt file if you'd like)

[Nutz]

Any word on this?

[jholder]

What version is this? I'm pretty sure there was an older bug on this issue.

[Nutz]

This was is 4.5.10, now I'm running 5.0.2.

My question is: Can I safely empty it out?

Thank you,

Nutz,

What you are seeing appears to be bug 19679 (Bug 19679 - /tmp fills up after numerous convertd crashes). This bug was resolved in ZCS 5.0.

You can move the older kv files to a path with more space:

zmconvertctl stop
find /tmp/ -name 'kv*' -mtime 1 -exec mv {} /somewhere/else/ \;
zmconvertctl start

This will move the kv files older than one day.
