Its the XXXXXXX.tmp directory that seem to be filling up... They have .tmp files in the directory.
or the tracker-extract-files is also an unknown.
What is that? how do I stop it ?
It's where tracker extracts files.
Google for "centos7 tracker disable"
I suspect the lu*.tmp directories are from when tracker uses LO to extract and index documents.
If you don't use, or want to use, tracker, then disable tracker.
