[Bug 991696] Re: tmp files aren't being cleaned up

[Evan Dandrea]

Apologies for not being clear when I first responded to this in the
morning.

Each one of these directories is a cache for a specific Ubuntu release
for a specific retracer. If you're seeing more Ubuntu 12.04 directories
than we have retracers running, for example, that's a bug and I'm happy
to fix it (if you can provide evidence of it).

The cache directories will grow fairly large as they're the apt cache
for every package needed to retrace a crash (dbgsym packages) and the
unpacked contents of these. The benefit, however, is that once these are
built up, we can retrace ridiculously quickly and actually handle the
1000+ crashes currently in the Rabbit queue.

So my suggestion would be that we handle this in the near term by
stopping the retracers *then* clearing these directories if they still
exist (the retracers themselves should wipe the directories at exit, but
it's possible something like apt/dpkg is holding a lock).

In the longer term, can we please beef up the disk space on this
machine?

  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
