I was going to say something similar some weeks ago but never got round to it.
I installed 10.3 by downloading the CD and then going on line. A few days later
I found a message about "disc full". I found that /tmp was full of files called
/tmp*.zip (eg tmp473989b6.zip). I rm'ed them (which took a time) and rebooted:
reiser had to correct a couple of hundred links on that disc and a few in a
second drive.
This continued on a daily basis, ie /tmp filled up at random times of the day
with /tmp*.zip files and I had to reboot after removing them, for several weeks
and I thought that I had a virus of some sort: I was considering backing up
everything and reinstalling from a purchased version of 10.3.
I eventually noticed that speeds had dropped very considerably and realised
that beagle was indexing the files. With 10.2 I had turned beagle off: the
installation of 10.3 had turned it on without my noticing the fact.
The problem was I think caused by the fact that I have two mounted NFS
directories in my home directory. It may also have been caused by the fact that
I backup files on this machine from a remote machine using Backup::Snapback
http://search.cpan.org/~mikeh/Snapback2-0.913/
which uses hard links to files. (I did not want any of those files indexed
which is why I had turned off beagle...)
With me the tmp files were zips of about 165kb containing a number of zips with
names like page1.zip of about 4gb each containing a 4 gb file called 0.dll
reduce to 4mb (which presumably means that it contains nothing but spaces) with
a timestamp of 2000-03-028 (which is many years before this computer was
built...).
Shouldn't beagle be set by default to ignore nfs/smb files?
(Having disabled beagle again my computer is once again usable, and no more tmp
files have appeared...)
