BoQ#01: Leaking disk space due to orphaned files
Hi there,
when I checked our system after a longer pause,
this happened to be the day where login on thin clients
stopped working.
Soon, I found out, that LTSP's disk space ran out of space
- I found files in a range of the last 6 months, that
took altogether >10 GB:
This were orphaned temp & swap files - outside of /tmp!
/opt/ltsp/swapfiles contained 220 directories, 6 GB of size!
/var/tmp/kdecache-* (* to be replaced with usernames) - contained
also several GiGs. The latter KDE cache is also present on workstations.
Could anybody
- please check their own systems for this phenomenon?
- tell me how to avoid this leak?
Cheers
