sfmdb /var/tmp
ia 11.23
My /var FS is almost 100%.
I can see in /var/tmp a lot of files like these:

-rw-r--r-- 1 sfmdb users 531278125 Aug 26 14:28 daaa20161
...
Are these files generated by SFM ?
Is It safe to delete them?
How can I query SFM to look for any problem on my system that is causing these files?
Thanks.
Regards,
Joao Rei

Re: sfmdb /var/tmp
It is safe to delay the files that are old.
grep sfmdb /etc/passwd
Get and post the user information on this user.
It would appear you have an application writing temporary files to /var/tmp and not cleaning up after itself.

Re: sfmdb /var/tmp
head /var/tmp/aaaa27001 | cat -v
tail /var/tmp/aaaa27001 | cat -v
just to see what is being recorded. These files are typically created with shell commands but the date indicates that the event(s) occurred in the past.

Re: sfmdb /var/tmp
I faced the same issue, and it was a known issue with SFM.
Could you please share the SFM version..

Re: sfmdb /var/tmp
From /etc/passwd grep the sfmdb and check who is the owner then if itâ s a application the ask the owner or application owner what to do with this files.
Any files under /tmp or /var/tmp are currently not using any application then I think you can delete all of them.
