Environment
Novell ZENworks Linux Management Linux Management 7 - ZLM7
Situation
Any time a file is uploaded to the system, there is the possibility
for various error conditions that the system it not fully setup to
work with the file, and the file becomes "orphaned" with no way to
clean it up. This has to do with the file upload control and
the systems that use it (currently for rpms, in the future for
other bundle management, uploaded images, etc.).
RESULTS:
Orphaned files can eat up a lot of disk space rather quickly.
RESULTS:
Orphaned files can eat up a lot of disk space rather quickly.
Resolution
Added a common task on the tools tab that launches a dialog to clear the rpm files in the pkg-repo/tmp directory.
Additional Information
Workaround is to delete old files from the tmp directory
manually.
