[Bug 244490] New: beagled-helper fills up disk
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244490 Summary: beagled-helper fills up disk Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 0plus Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rschiele@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de beagled-helper creates temporary files of multiple gigabytes in /tmp from time to time thus rendering the whole system unusable when disk runs full. Some inspection showed that it seems that beagle creates copies of all files to index in /tmp. Maybe it just tried to index some database tablespaces. Apart from that what is the point in copying the files to /tmp anyway? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I think this operation should be limited to a reasonable limit for the unpacked size because otherwise compressed files containing uncompressed data with large size will always fill up partition containing /tmp. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Also - any chance we can use a bglXXXXXX.tmp type template so it's easier for the casual user to isolate ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244490 ------- Comment #9 from joeshaw@novell.com 2007-03-08 12:46 MST ------- Yeah, old ones that are still there stay there. If Beagle isn't running, feel free to go ahead and delete them. I'll look into changing the temp file name; we already cut-and-paste the GetTempFileName() method from mono so that we can set the file extension (for optimal mime type detection) so it shouldn't be a problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I just looked in /tmp and I have (luckily) only 38Mb of tmp*.tmp files though there are 680 such files. As my previous comment notes it is totally certain that this is post 0.2.16.2 and that my /tmp was cleaned last time I posted this stuff; so - the bug remains unfixed I think. On the other hand - it's entirely possible - since I have a long history of killall -9 beagled beagled-helper as/when the machine becomes unusable when I want to get something done ;-) [ isn't the kernel I/O scheduling just great ] that this is related to that. Poking at the ASCII files suggests that in many cases they are not files extracted from archives (at least). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It will leave behind temp files, but it may also leave stale locks on your indexes, which will cause them to be purged the next time you start up. You're just creating more work for the daemon. :) Use beagle-shutdown instead, or send SIGTERM to beagled. Also 0.2.16.3 fixes some corner cases with problematic archive files that were leaving behind tempfiles. There is still one known bug where a race can cause some files to be left behind in the KMail backend, but if you're not using KMail you shouldn't see it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
