I utilize podman on my server for running my software.
Recently, I saw that my server ran out of space on its 8TB raid 10 array. Which immediately raised questions for me.
After using “duc” to analyze my drive. I found that podman had used 4 TB of storage space in “/var/tmp”.
Anyone else have this happen to them?
/tmp should be just that (temporary).
There should not be any ill effects to completely empty /tmp
Some distros put /tmp on a ram drive that gets created fresh (and empty) with each reboot.
