Large temporary folder

But maybe I’m wrong, and there could be files from 1-3 days old that should not be deleted

In my experience once the node is stopped whatever remains can be deleted. I have never seen files as old as an hour ever been reused after node restarts.

@Alexey
Please correct me if I am wrong so I along with other SNOs can take proper action.

I do not know a proper action (if it needed at all), but if you see something old as 72h it’s safe to delete (the transfer is cancelled anyway from the customers’ uplink).
Of course, only for temp files

checked my 54 nodes and none of them showed excessive temp files.
so doesn’t seem to be a common issue.

max was 1.8GB

temp should not contain files older than 3 day(, mine is 0 right now, when node full…)

so 1.8 gb is excessive

Thats what i currently have, is it safe to delete the files from march and april?

[daki82]

as written here somewhere, yes.

I cleaned temp folder on all my nodes. From what I’ve seen, when you stop the node from cli, all the files form today are gone, so what remains are lost files that must be deleted. I believe you don’t need to filter anything. Just stop the node, wait 1 min, and delete everything in the temp folder. But maybe I’m wrong, and there could be files from 1-3 days old that should not be deleted…

Wow! 1.8GB of 4MB files? There must be 4-500 files! Stop the node and delete them. Files in temp folder… to not be confused with trash.

Stop the node and delete them.

No need to stop the node, just delete everything older than 3 days

Large temporary folder

find temp/ -mtime +3 -type f -delete Make sure you’re in the right folder. This will delete all files in temp/ older than 3 days.

sounds like a storj problem rather than a me problem, also a years old node.

bothering to delete 1.8 thats worth 20$ pr TB
so recovering 0.036$ and that might be overvaluing it because.
20$ pr TB is rather high.
