systemd or mysql littering /tmp
Last modified: 2012-07-26 04:45:27 EDT
Description of problem: Starting recently my /tmp is full of files named systemd-namespace-XXXXXX that don't go away. They all seem to be owned by root/mysql thus I'm not sure which component is at fault. On some of my systems I only run mysql to store amarok's database. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-37-17.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Files show up and remain after reboot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Normal use, just boot/reboot the system a couple of times, it needs to have the mysqld service enabled Actual results: Several systemd-namespace-XXXXXX files remain in /tmp/ after reboot, need manual cleanup. Expected results: A cleaner /tmp Additional info:
A part of the problem is bug 810257 that prevents the expected cleanup after 10 days. But even after we fix that bug, we should add active removal of the namespace directories after stopping services.
The same problem is still present in Fedora 17: system 1: drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Jul 25 10:33 systemd-namespace-Aj4mKf drwx------ 4 root colord 4096 Jul 25 10:33 systemd-namespace-lIOUQD drwx------ 4 root colord 4096 Jul 25 10:33 systemd-namespace-1FbHwg system 2: drwx------ 4 root mysql 4096 Jul 20 20:39 systemd-namespace-WFzmLu drwx------ 4 root mysql 4096 Jul 20 20:39 systemd-namespace-LVkQAu drwx------ 4 root mysql 4096 Jul 20 20:39 systemd-namespace-I51yMu drwx------ 2 root mysql 4096 Jul 20 23:17 systemd-namespace-Sbu7nN drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 23:17 systemd-namespace-iIsvJ5 drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Jul 22 03:38 systemd-namespace-oNJdXf drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Jul 22 03:38 systemd-namespace-ad2wrK drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 23 23:17 systemd-namespace-znCUoD drwx------ 2 root mysql 4096 Jul 23 23:17 systemd-namespace-uBRbAl drwx------ 3 root mysql 4096 Jul 23 23:17 systemd-namespace-qxHXWv drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 23 23:17 systemd-namespace-VIAgrJ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 23 23:17 systemd-namespace-Sbcm9x
