Apologies for not being clear when I first responded to this in the morning.
Each one of these directories is a cache for a specific Ubuntu release for a specific retracer. If you're seeing more Ubuntu 12.04 directories than we have retracers running, for example, that's a bug and I'm happy to fix it (if you can provide evidence of it). The cache directories will grow fairly large as they're the apt cache for every package needed to retrace a crash (dbgsym packages) and the unpacked contents of these. The benefit, however, is that once these are built up, we can retrace ridiculously quickly and actually handle the 1000+ crashes currently in the Rabbit queue. So my suggestion would be that we handle this in the near term by stopping the retracers *then* clearing these directories if they still exist (the retracers themselves should wipe the directories at exit, but it's possible something like apt/dpkg is holding a lock). In the longer term, can we please beef up the disk space on this machine? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991696 Title: tmp files aren't being cleaned up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie-daisy/+bug/991696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
