Hi list,
on a SuSE9.2 with aprox. 150 users over time since 2004, the /tmp dir now holds something like +12000 files and some 3.5G in size.
- would it be safe to go to runlevel 2 and delete all that?
Check Yast. I don't remember with 9.2 but there is likely a setting to automatically delete tmp files on a schedule. I've no idea why the default is to not delete.
In YaST: System -> /etc/sysconfig Editor ->System->Cron
I've used these settings since 8.2 to avoid your problem:
TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR = /tmp /var/tmp CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOT = yes
I'd be inclined to enable these settings then reboot the system to confirm they've 'taken' and the space recovered.
Hey! Very cool, thank you. I was running out of space on my lappie and eventually noticed about 20G of files in /tmp/kai - never even knew the folder existed. Of course, I deleted everything, since nothing seemed to be needed. Now I will just have it continually empty. -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
