If the file is moved somewhere else, then you need to garbage collect it in case the upload is never finished. A find -delete from cron removing files other than a couple of days could be enough. It would be nice to be able to attach delete handlers to memcached keys for the cases when there's "something more" that needs deleting (this is the same problem we also had with the temp dbs for selenium tests). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
