Thanks for the quick reply Christian!  I’ll pursue the TMPDIR solution, as I 
want to archive the failed diffs as potentially useful application/user 
behavior data.

Alternatively, have a cron job that just cleans up the RB temp files. Those are 
only used for failed diffs, so that the failure can be investigated.

We store temporary files in the configured temporary directory. You should be 
able to control this by setting the TMPDIR or TEMP environment variable in your 
Apache config or reviewboard.wsgi file.

I recently had Review Board fill up my server’s root partition after some 
poorly behaved users submitted many large diffs that were saved/staged in /tmp.

Does anyone know of a config setting to change the directory in which Beview 
Board does its patch applying?  It is easy to clean up /tmp, but I’d prefer to 
forestall the issue entirely by keeping this data on the application partition 
(and I like to keep the data around for investigation/analysis of failed 
patches).  I’ve searched for a mention of any such setting in:


1)      The admin dashboard

2)      The django config files

3)      The online docs 
(http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/configuration/)

4)      The mailing list archives

I haven’t found anything promising yet.

Thanks,
Walt
