Many old tmp files in /srv/node/xxx/objects/

[Anton]

Hi,
I saw to many tmp files in patitions folders:

for example:

root@str-05 /srv/node/sdv1 # find /srv/node/sdh1 -name '*.tmp'
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/235199/tmpF3zY95.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/261642/tmp5fI6TZ.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/172273/tmpPbzu9L.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/172273/tmpquXoEf.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/220845/tmpQ021_u.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/244457/tmpf0zbaO.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/240235/tmpBDQUd_.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/240235/tmpclQCiz.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/77029/tmpKJNP5O.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/251288/tmpsbpAUJ.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/180664/tmp2g0WWC.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/4604/tmpMVo5fZ.tmp
/srv/node/sdh1/objects/251229/tmpfcdAln.tmp
^C

root@str-05 /srv/node/sdv1 # ls -la /srv/node/sdh1/objects/235199/tmpF3zY95.tmp
-rw------- 1 swift swift 0 Feb 28 10:25 /srv/node/sdh1/objects/235199/tmpF3zY95.tmp

But it observed not on all drives. I think this drives were once overflowing (100% usage). I found one drive without free space and run find tmp files here. Drive have very many empty tmp files...

Hrmm... I was thinking that these are tmp files created during object upload - where normally it's the object-replicators job to "unlink_older_than(tmp_path, time.time() - self.reclaim_age)"...

But those paths don't look right to me? I think those are actually rsync tmp files (?!)

I don't think I have any idea how/when those get cleaned up.

But I do know that rsync breaks in crappy ways when your disks get full. Actually lots of things seem to get broken in crappy ways when swift's disks get full.

As is, with the information given, this isn't reproducible. More info would be good. Assigning importance "low" as we haven't had any further bug reports on this issue AFAICT.
