Hello,
Someone on the user list recommended I post my question on the
developer list. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've spent about 5 hours researching this myself--including the
mailing list archives--and have yet to find any references let alone
solutions. There are no references to "mrf" files that are causing
me grief. This posting is my only hope! :)
Here's the scoop: Massively HUGE .tmp files grow in this directory:
/var/cache/tomcat4/temp
Here is an example:
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:21 mrf20758.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:20 mrf20757.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:19 mrf20756.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 2272915456 Sep 2 11:19
mrf20744.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:17 mrf20755.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:17 mrf20754.tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat4 tomcat4 0 Sep 2 11:16 mrf20753.tmp
I don't know what these files are for nor why some of them grow to
over 2GB.
It's kinda urgent because this kills our server every 24 hours or so.
It forces me to stop tomcat, delete the files, then re-start.
Sometimes I have to do a kill -9 on the tomcat process because the
process is apparently stuck still trying to write yet more bytes to
these files!
Incidently, we have another server with the same directory, but there
are only just a few of these mrf files and they don't grow to be very
big--so, it's not a problem on the other server.
Also incidently, our Java program uses a lot of memory which causes
frequent and long garbage collections. Are these related?
Can anyone help? What are these files for?
