TOSDaemon filling up /tmp

Post by thewieger »

Running TOS 6.0.794 on a F2-425. My docker containers are failing health checks because /tmp is full. Looking into /tmp, the biggest file is metricsd.db, which is opened by TOSDaemon. What is the best way to keep TOSDaemon structurally (so not restarting the NAS on a regular schedule) from filling up metricsd.db to the limits of /tmp?

NAS-admin@DE-WOLK:/# du -a /tmp | sort -n -r | head -n 10
524288 /tmp
381820 /tmp/metricsd.db
138236 /tmp/databack
69112 /tmp/databack/TNAS_TNAS-F2-425_config_backup.tar
69112 /tmp/databack/TNAS_TNAS-F2-425_config_backup.bin
4120 /tmp/log
988 /tmp/log/TOSDaemon.log
864 /tmp/log/samba
744 /tmp/log/samba/log.smbrichacl
584 /tmp/log/user.log
NAS-admin@DE-WOLK:/# lsof /tmp/metricsd.db
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
TOSDaemon 11108 NAS-admin 12r REG 0,28 390983680 140 /tmp/metricsd.db
TOSDaemon 11108 NAS-admin 16u REG 0,28 390983680 140 /tmp/metricsd.db

NAS-admin@DE-WOLK:/# lsof /tmp/databack/TNAS_TNAS-F2-425_config_backup.bin
