Twice, in the past 24 hours, one of my webservers has filled up on /var. When I check /var/tmp, I see lots of these (ignore the owner/group, I've since changed that): -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 2097152 Aug 29 19:44 SQL17ac_0.ISD -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1024 Aug 29 19:00 SQL17ac_0.ISM -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1966080 Aug 29 19:45 SQL17ae_0.ISD -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1024 Aug 29 19:01 SQL17ae_0.ISM -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1572864 Aug 29 19:44 SQL17b0_0.ISD -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1024 Aug 29 19:01 SQL17b0_0.ISM -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1441792 Aug 29 19:44 SQL17b2_0.ISD -rw-rw---- 1 dan dan 1024 Aug 29 19:01 SQL17b2_0.ISM In all, there are 70 such files. Most of the .ISD have size zero. Many of the .ISM are 1024 but a few are large like the above. What are these files? Why are they being created? The box is: FreeBSD set.freshports.org 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Sat Jul 29 20:15:07 NZST 2000 root@set.freshports.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/BUFFIPSEC i386 It's running: apache-1.3.12, mod_php-3.0.16, mysql-server-3.22.32. If I stop mysqld and remove the files in question, /var goes back to about 15%. If I check the apache logs around the time at which the first "/var full" messages start appearing, I see nothing which jumps out. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ FreshPorts - http://freshports.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
