description |
I recently ran out of disk space on my / mount. While looking for what consumed the disk I noticed a large number (130) of directories with names / paths beginning /var/tmp/mkinitramfs. These directories seem to be either ~103 MB or ~927 MB in size. Many of these files are months old, some are almost a year.
Having had a quick look about for an explanation as to why these files are here and found Debian Bug #814345. That explains that temporary files are left behind by the initramfs-tools if something fails in the process. If this is the cause of my files then updating the Ubuntu package to version 0.123 should resolve this issue.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04
Package: initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.8
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-72.93-generic 4.4.49
Uname: Linux 4.4.0-72-generic x86_64
ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.10
Architecture: amd64
CurrentDesktop: Unity
Date: Fri Aug 25 09:40:41 2017
InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-03-12 (896 days ago)
InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1)
PackageArchitecture: all
SourcePackage: initramfs-tools
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) |
Test Case
---------
1) confirm there are no mkinitramfs junk files in /var/tmp
2) run 'sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -v'
3) interrupt update-initramfs with Ctrl-C
4) observe junk files in /var/tmp e.g. /var/tmp/mkinitramfs*
With the version of initramfs-tools in -proposed you should see not have any leftovers in /var/tmp.
