Hi there,
 
coming from the Poly/ML list.
 
Running a CakeML bootstrapping process I got an error
 
     no space left on device
 
Actually, the disk was not full but consumed all possible inodes:
 
$ sudo df -i /
[sudo] password for gbuday:
Filesystem     Inodes  IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda1      512064 512064     0  100% /
 
That was because of 361391 MLTEMPXXXX files in /tmp.
 
James Clarke said on the Poly/ML list that

Can I tweak Holmake not to create that much temporary files or to
periodically delete unnecessary ones?
 
Or, might it be that CakeML bootstrapping does require that much temporary
files?
