As you can see, the directories are a few days old, and it seems like
there are no processes owned by the whoopsie user that are that old, so
it does seems like these aren't being cleaned up.

We have a cronjob that was put in place and then disabled per the
comments below which may be relevant here:

# spm 2012-04-18, we're *rapidly* eating space. this seems to be the culprit
#   hence a rather aggressive find -delete to keep it sane
# gnuoy 2012-04-18, disabled due to retracer expecting these dirs to exist.
# 5 * * * * find /srv/daisy.ubuntu.com/var/Ubuntu\ 12.04/ -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'tmp*' -mmin +180 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf

Title:
  tmp files aren't being cleaned up

Status in “whoopsie-daisy” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The tmp files aren't being cleaned up and consuming quite a bit of
  space:

  whoopsie at finfolk:/srv/daisy.ubuntu.com/var/Ubuntu 12.04$ du --max-depth=1 -x -h
  8.0G    ./tmphTFXv6
  755M    ./tmpZD746V
  24G     ./tmpMpv9e_
  11G     ./tmpSzxu0b
  20G     ./tmpiVxj5Q
  1.1G    ./tmp6slEGW
  691M    ./tmpVAYgyu
  53M     ./tmpZBrdux
  1.2G    ./tmpICFTIg
  65G     .

  Any chance you could take a look?

  
  Thanks,

  Haw
