It looks like its these files: drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 16:11 lu10398gvo2au.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 16:14 lu3245gvrkvp.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 17 16:14 lu4298gvwjcr.tmp That just keep growing and "many" files in each directory. Over time it fills the / root partition. What is making those files ? How do I stop it? jerry On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 4:01 PM, Jerry Geis <jerry.geis at gmail.com> wrote: > This is a listing. > > total 44 > drwx------ 2 root root 6 Aug 17 15:36 lu26465gujqup.tmp > drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 15:37 lu27063gukci0.tmp > drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 15:43 lu3205guot5q.tmp > drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 15:48 lu4177guts1n.tmp > drwx------ 2 root root 6 Aug 17 15:36 pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n > drwx------ 3 root root 16 Aug 17 15:39 systemd-private- > e02ca338bba64326ab00789706c3de4b-colord.service-B3EzVm > drwx------ 3 root root 16 Aug 17 15:39 systemd-private- > e02ca338bba64326ab00789706c3de4b-rtkit-daemon.service-Z5MlFp > drwx------ 2 root root 6 Mar 1 2016 tracker-extract-files.1000 > > > Its the XXXXXXX.tmp directory that seem to be filling up...
