Can you share the code that actually does this? The javadoc for File.createTempFile states: "To arrange for a file created by this method to be deleted automatically, use the deleteOnExit() method." If your engineers followed this advice, this may be your problem: the JVM is waiting until JVM shutdown to actually delete the files. Even if the code does an explicit File.delete(), the JVM is probably still hanging onto a reference to the file's directory entry in order to delete it on exit. That seems like a plausible explanation for why the files are marked as "deleted" in lsof, but are still being kept alive by the JVM. The solution here would be to simply not use File.deleteOnExit; instead, use File.delete explicitly. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjlEpIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBo0wCfRhUitB/6/pxDQiGtbdo0Ctwk qj4AnjuQwMY3yduWoAN5/InlbZnX1CW6 =i6Uc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
