Size of tmp directory is constantly increasing in EAP 6
Issue
-
Size of VFS folder under temp directory is getting increased.
-
The size of the
tmpdirectory is constantly increasing.
E.g. intmp/vfstwo new directories for temp and deployment get created during every restart. -
Note this issue occurs because we use the
-Xrsoption of the JVM option. (This option helps to prevent possible interference when JVM is running as a service and receives CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT or SIGHUP) -
In JBoss tmp/vfs grows each day and fills up the disk. Is there a way to remove the content of tmp/vfs?
-
Will removing the contents of temp/vfs cause any issues?
-
Noticed that in all our 6.0.1 environments, the standalone/tmp file space is filling up with the vfs directory taking up all the space. We cannot upgrade to 6.1, is there any workaround in EAP 6.0.1?
-
Is there any CLI commands to clean the old temp files or any other alternative way to clean these old temp and data files?
- Having problems due to JBoss temporal files taking a lot of disk space. Is it safe to delete tmp directories manually from JBoss EAP 6.2?
- After deploying the applications temporary file generating accordingly. How to clear those temporary files building with the deploed applications to release the space from unwanted temporary files?
- Accumulation of old deployment artefacts. We've noticed that we accumulate old deployments and configuration history within the JBoss home directory, specifically in
\standalone\tmp\vfsand\standalone\configuration\standalone_xml_history. Is this expected behaviour? - Files related for deployment and other temporary items are created in standalone/tmp/vfs. What is the best way to clean these up? We tried adding a policy at startup for evicting temp files within the standalone.xml: TimedPolicyCaching.lifetime=1440 however it did not have an effect.
