[gentoo-user] unknown process filled up /tmp partition
Although it was not in a separate partition, my /tmp directory was filled with files looking like this: /tmp/magick-XXzxp1lE*ppm There were so many of them that ls or rm or dir wouldn't deal with them. I finally deleted them. Kdirstat showed a tremendous chunk of my / partition used up by numerous files in /tmp. This brings up some questions: What program? I have been trying out alot of dvd ripping and playing, encoding, video and audio programs. I had just tried lives. Does that ring a bell with anyone? Is it adviseable to arrange to automatically delete all temporary files when booting? If so, how to do this? How would one sleuth this out, to find the offending program---the one that generated these files? I would appreciate any ideas, even though normalcy seems to have returned, now that files have been deleted. Alan Davis -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
