[Dxspider-support] [sysops] Temp Files..

[David Robbins]

Dma may be ‘dragonfly mail agent’.  Check out some of these:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430983

https://www.apt-browse.com/browse/ubuntu/xenial/universe/amd64/dma/0.9-1/file/var/spool/dma

 

looks like there may be bugs in it, but why it would be filling up with cluster stuff I don’t know… perhaps something is redirecting cluster output to the dma process or trying to mail it.  

 

I would also make sure nothing is built with a debug option enabled.

There are a few things:

1. DXSpider does not (intentionally) write to anywhere out of the /spider tree.
2. A swift search suggests that /var/spool/dma is a FreeBSDism.
3. What's in it?
4. What are you running on?

 Probably a Dirk question, but it seems that DXspider uses a never ending temp file, or I see no sign of rotation, and as it's a temp name it's not simple to just add it to a rotate script.

 I get notifications from my system ever so often that /var is getting low, and when I look I find a file in /var/spool/dma that is loaded with logging from the spider node.   A quick ls shows me this thing gets big..

I tend to go in and stop the node, and get rid of the file, but I had having to boot everyone to make sure I have a truncated but usable temp file for the node to work with.   Are there any suggestions, or procedures for taking care of this so the drive doesn't run low, and spider can hum along nicely for months without incident??
