System Requirements regarding /tmp

Open syntron opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

The app heavily uses /tmp for data. Could you please state the required system resources?

see #14 - closed (basic system requirements) see #27, #47 - example of heavy use of /tmp (>200MB, > 116GB)

What size of /tmp should be defined to safely use the app? xxx MB (basic) + yyy MB / user space in /tmp

I don't know if its the same issue as reported before but we observed something similar at our universities system. Something (coolwsd?) in connection with the code server is piling up tmp files until the filesystem mounted at /tmp is full. The size of the folders varies, but the longer the system is running the more appear and they don't seem to be removed by anything automatically. Just as an naming example, the uuid and other alnum patterns in the path are random. /tmp/systemd-private-3b534cda1a044d94841151086dd2369e-apache2.service-aEu5mt/tmp/coolwsd.PVDYG3g1kY/jails/26141-4fd1689d/5FIzmrA28A2KNAeI Sadly I don't currently know what's inside those folders, since a colleague of mine just rebooted the server, so currently tmp is almost empty and I got that info from a du he did on the tmp files on a still open shell. I have to wait a while to investigate the contend of those folders but maybe someone else knows about the usage of coolwsd's tmp files.
