Hi Michael, The /tmp directory is used on a Rivendell workstation during the import process into RDLibrary (among other things). Since each import process creates *two* copies of the uncompressed audio file being imported, this directory must have enough space to for these files. When you import audio files for shows that are an hour in duration (or longer) the temp space can be consumed quickly. If you use Rivendell dropboxes you can conceivably have multiple import processes running simultaneously. I think 14GB for /tmp is appropriate.
Not sure what the existing folders in your /tmp are for: Rivendell is pretty good about cleaning up after itself. The temporary Rivendell folders have names like "rivendellXXXXX", where "XXXXX" are "random" characters generated when the directory is created. Hope this helps! ~David Klann Broadcast Tool & Die On 08/24/2017 04:47 PM, WRFI Programs wrote: > Hi all, > > Trying to investigate our Rivendell host computer and disk space issues. > > Its /tmp directory size is around 14GB.
