About temporary files deletion, here is a suggestion from FMS:

Hello,

When the freenet node crashes the datastore must be checked at the next node
boot. This process creates auxiliary temporary files called
bloom-A_BIG_NUMBER.tmp in a temporary directory (/tmp on linux).

The problem is, if the node crashes quite often (for example once or twice a
week, depending on the computer load), and the datastore is consequent (several
tens of gigabytes), the bloom tmp files begin to be very large (several tens of
megabytes once the maintenance is finished). Those files accumulates in the /tmp
directory and this can be very bad, for example when /tmp is mounted on a
dedicated 500MB partition.

AFAIK those files are not used any more once the maintenance has finished. Due
to their very nature (temporary files in temporary directory), couldn't the node
delete them after use ? The node would thus maintain a much cleaner environment.


The problem is the same with libfec*.tmp, libNativeThread*.tmp and jcpuid*.tmp
though those files are much smaller.

Thanks in advance
