Hi. I have a /tmp FS for swap, and a really big file crout* inside. The /tmp was 95% up. I decided to remove the crout file. The problem, is the /tmp is not decreasing, but still growing. How could I make it decrease?
Find and kill the process that's writing to that file. It'll be a cron job (the crout* name is the giveaway). To see which processes are being run under cron, try something like: ptree `pgrep cron` and kill the errant one. (Once you've worked out why it's generating so much output so it won't do it again. It may try to mail the file - although the delete may be enough to prevent that, so I would watch what's happening afterwards to make sure that nothing else has been launched.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
