Since, the reboot that I did 4 hours ago, it is already occupying 2Gb. in
other 4/5 hours it will fill up again /tmp. I can't reboot every few hours.

Suggestion about how to solve the issue?

I see you had that.  You would have to restart kconsole some way.

Whoever wrote the big file still has it opened.

lsof | grep /tmp | grep deleted should tell you what pid and/or
service to cycle to fix it and/or who is your troublemaker making the
big file and holding it open still.

Dear all,
I've a quite "noisy" problem on my freshly installed Fedora 31 laptop. My 5Gb
/tmp partition get full in around 10 hours of up time.

No way to free it apart reboot.

At the time of writing I've the /tmp partition full but I've already run a rm
-fr /tmp/* from root.

These are some diagnostic data I can find:

It seems that konsole keeps blocked around 5Gb of space in a deleted file.
How can I force konsole to realease it?

As far as I remember, konsole was creating a huge cache file in Fedora 23 too
but that wasn't a problem because the cache at that time was stored in
.local/cache where I have plenty of space but now it is in /tmp. Alternatevely
how can I force konsole to low the amount of cache it stores?

Thank you
Walter
