I'm noticing this as an issue as well. My scenario is in using Fabric or Ansible to do deployments. A large number of these dangling SSH files are in the /run/systemd/sessions/ folder and eventually cause the "out of disk space" issue.

The files are 240-260 bytes, but there are many As per default install, /run is on tmpfs with 50 MB size. After a couple of days, /run/ runs out of free space, which can cause not so funny errors, like failed kernel update (kernel postinst tries to create files here, then fails) As I see, thesefiles are releated to ssh sesssions, and yes there are plenty SSH connection to this host. Shouldn't systemd remove these old session files? # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 # apt-cache policy systemd systemd: Installed: 208-8ubuntu8.2 Candidate: 208-8ubuntu8.2 Version table: *** 208-8ubuntu8.2 0 500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 208-8ubuntu8 0 500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd-shim/+bug/1426362/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
