/home/admin/tmp using up too much space/inodes
Posted: Sun Nov 27, 2016 9:41 am
I noticed my Ubuntu 14.04 web server stopped serving pages because it had no more disk space left for caching so i started looking for the issue.
I seem to have some free space on disk, let's check inodes.
I seem to be using them all so I checked which directory is using the most and I found:
Is it okay to just delete everything inside tmp? but before doing that how can I find out what caused the issue to prevent it from happening again?
When I try to list the tmp directory, I'm just seeing a bunch of files called "sess_g0ks0nh06o2h243bjka4b3cvq1" . These look to be session files for my opencart online shop. I've been running the server for about 1 year now, is this normal to happen over time and I need to clear that directory manually?
Thank you
