PF 3.6.0 ZEN, upgraded to 3.6.1. PacketFence appears to be leaving cgisess_[long_hex_string] files behind in /tmp . It apparently overflowed the maximum amount of files allowed in an EXT3 directory overnight, as PF was complaining about not having free disk space despite there being 8 gigs free according to df.
Someone else encountered this problem with PF 3.2 last July, but nobody responded to his question about whether these files should be purged daily. I'll ask again, and also add a second question about whether there is an automated/scheduled maintenance routine in PF that is supposed to be taking care of these files but is not working on my system for some reason? As I discovered this morning, the system will DoS itself sooner or later when it can't open any more session files, and the ls command won't even work in the /tmp folder with that many files... -Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Emerson III Email: [email protected] Network Administrator InterNIC: AE81 Mount Saint Mary College MaBell: (845) 561-0800 Ext. 3109 330 Powell Ave. Fax: (845) 562-6762 Newburgh, NY 12550 SneakerNet: Aquinas Hall Room 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
