Hello,
My /var/tmp directory gets flooded by big files named:
sort01ei1t
sort01Eq7u
sort01sLAs
...
sortzZZtvv
the files are approx. 13 Gb each.
In 24 hours > 6000 are written.
My big partition is filled by it until the system freezes.
The files are plain text files, containing sshfs paths:
/mnt/nas/sshfs/proc/self/task/413551/root/proc/self/task/413551/root/proc/self/task/413551/root/proc/self/task/413551/root/proc/
.........
nas and desktop are running debian 11 daily updated.
How can I find out which program is writing these files?
Thanks!
You might look at file creation time and look in /var/log/syslog to see
what CRON job is running when they are created.
