It was createrepo -- Glenn - I installed createrepo and /tmp directory started filling up with multiple sets of .xml files. When I uninstalled createrepo /tmp directory stopped filling up with multiple sets of .xml files. [1] # zypper in createrepo Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...
