In previous versions of JBoss EAP 6, the temporary deployment directory ('/tmp/vfs'), created while the server was running, would remain if the server stopped unexpectedly or was forcibly stopped. The directory and its contents would not be removed on a later startup. This could have serious consequences as accumulated temporary files could eventually use all available disk space. The root cause of this issue has now been resolved by adding a test on startup for temporary files. If '/tmp/vfs' is found, the directory and its contents are removed and as a result, temporary files can no longer accumulate.
