SOLVED: Kinda Urgent: Huge Temporary Files (2BG) Fill Up Root Partition (mrfxxxxx.tmp files?)
Thank you so much for your suggestions! The error is indeed in my code, specifically in a MultipartRequest-related class that I downloaded from JavaPro magazine. I never suspected this code because I didn't write it. I guess there is a bug in their code that I now have to investigate that; at least I now know the source of the problem!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've spent about 5 hours researching this myself--including the mailing list archives--and have yet to find any references let alone solutions.

This posting is my only hope! :) Here's the scoop: Massively HUGE .tmp files grow in this directory: /var/cache/tomcat4/temp Here is an example: -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:21 mrf20758.tmp -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:20 mrf20757.tmp -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:19 mrf20756.tmp -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 2272915456 Sep 2 11:19 mrf20744.tmp -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:17 mrf20755.tmp -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:17 mrf20754.tmp -rw-r--r--1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:16 mrf20753.tmp I don't know what these files are for nor why some of them grow to over 2GB. It's kinda urgent because this kills our server every 24 hours or so. It forces me to stop tomcat, delete the files, then re-start. Sometimes I have to do a kill -9 on the tomcat process because the process is apparently stuck still trying to write yet more bytes to these files! Incidently, we have another server with the same directory, but there are only just a few of these mrf files and they don't grow to be very big--so, it's not a problem on the other server. Also incidently, our Java program uses a lot of memory which causes frequent and long garbage collections. Are these related? Can anyone help? What are these files for?
