#29987: clear out unowned files on servers -----------------------------------------------------+----------------- Reporter: anarcat | Owner: tpa Type: project | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: Internal Services/Tor Sysadmin Team | Version: Severity: Minor | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -----------------------------------------------------+----------------- there is a significant number of unowned files on the servers. this is generally because a user was removed without the associated user being purged as well, but there are also odd corner cases like backup restores and so on.
In #29682, I have done the following Cumin run to find such files, expecting to find only problems with the Munin user/group I had just removed, but instead found many more cases, mostly (300,000) surrounding deleted users: {{{ cumin -p 0 -b 5 --force -o txt '*' 'find / -ignore_readdir_race -path /proc -prune -nouser -o -nogroup' | tee unowned-files }}} Next step is to decide what to do with the leftover files and document this as part of the user retirement process. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29987> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
