Sorry, my previous email contained everything I know on the topic of
temp files.

Thanks, Andrew.
I was waiting for someone with a bit more experience with
ArchivesSpace to chime in on this. In my case, we have a number of old
jruby directories which contain a set of jar files. What should be
cleaning these up? Whatever it might be, it is missing doing that
cleanup on my site. I'm curious how things are supposed to work.
As for cleanup, if the service is somehow not cleaning these up
properly, then my usual methodology is to have a cleanup script (or
manual intervention) come behind and delete everything which is a
certain number of days old. I would guess anything older than 30 days
in that directory is fair game for deletion. Do you see anything wrong
with that?
Thanks,
Tom

The tmp folder is used to store files which should be deleted
automatically after the process that created them finishes, but
that doesn't always happen. On the system I run, it has grown to
0.4G in four years, mostly files created during indexing. Some
files are also written there during startup.
So you should be able to stop the ArchivesSpace service, delete
everything inside the tmp folder, then restart, although I've
never done so myself. But first it would be worth investigating
when the bulk of the 9.4G was created. If it has built up over
time, the majority before the last restart, it is less of a
concern than if most of it is new.

Kia ora koutou,
Our ArchivesSpace UAT has run out of space, and the information
from our developer is :
The space is mainly being taken up by temporary files created by
the archivesspace app itself, eg:
antbrown@ccc-dhr-uat-as1:/opt/archivesspace3/data$ sudo -u
archivesspace du -hs tmp
9.4G tmp
Some of these files are used for running the app and it's not
obvious from
https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/readme_implement.html
which are safe to delete.
If you were able to post to the mailing list asking which files
are safe to delete in the data/tmp directory, we could write a
script to make sure it's cleaned daily for example.
Any suggestions which files are safe to delete in the data/tmp
directory?
Ngā mihi
