Re: [tor-relays] "/var/tor/diff-cache" full!
I realized that there was a misconfiguration on the ntpd daemon could this be the reason? I just fixed it. Currently, I can count ~260 files with approx 500K each (total 200M) , oldest one is from yesterday. I'll keep under monitoring for a while , let's what will happen.

I there any solution to overcome it? No, not expected at all. Quickly glancing at an OpenBSD relay, I see ~250 files about ~500K in size. Do you have a lot more files, or are they larger? g ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
