Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Pruning temporary files?

[Andrew Morrison]

Sorry, my previous email contained everything I know on the topic of 
temp files.

cleanup on my site.  I'm curious how things are supposed to work.


As for cleanup, if the service is somehow not cleaning these up 
properly, then my usual methodology is to have a cleanup script (or 
manual intervention) come behind and delete everything which is a 
certain number of days old. I would guess anything older than 30 days 
in that directory is fair game for deletion. Do you see anything wrong 
with that?


Thanks,

So you should be able to stop the ArchivesSpace service, delete
everything inside the tmp folder, then restart, although I've
never done so myself. But first it would be worth investigating
when the bulk of the 9.4G was created. If it has built up over
time, the majority before the last restart, it is less of a
concern than if most of it is new.

If you were able to post to the mailing list asking which files
are safe to delete in the data/tmp directory, we could write a
script to make sure it's cleaned daily for example.
Any suggestions which files are safe to delete in the data/tmp
directory?

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Pruning temporary files?

[Andrew Morrison]

The tmp folder is used to store files which should be deleted 
automatically after the process that created them finishes, but that 
doesn't always happen. On the system I run, it has grown to 0.4G in four 
years, mostly files created during indexing. Some files are also written 
there during startup.


So you should be able to stop the ArchivesSpace service, delete 
everything inside the tmp folder, then restart, although I've never done 
so myself. But first it would be worth investigating when the bulk of 
the 9.4G was created. If it has built up over time, the majority before 
the last restart, it is less of a concern than if most of it is new.
