[Bug 37097] New: koha is not responding due to lack of free disk space (zebra tmp suddenly grows)
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37097 Bug ID: 37097 Summary: koha is not responding due to lack of free disk space (zebra tmp suddenly grows) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 23.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Zebra Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: yuriy.kotsyuk@oa.edu.ua Periodically we have a problem with free space on our koha server on Ubuntu 20.04.6. The total disk capacity is 210 GB (koha usually takes 105 GB), but sometimes the number of files in /var/lib/koha/library/biblios/tmp suddenly grows and takes up all the free disk space. As a result, koha server starts working with errors and stops completely. I have come to the conclusion that this folder holds temporary zebra files. I just clear the tmp folder each time. After that, the koha wakes up. Is that an issue with a small disk, or is that an issue with periodical cleaning tmp folder? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I'd say on 98% of my instances it does not do this, but the other 2% it does. For those, I have a cronjob that uses the "find" command to find search result files older than say 1 hour and delete them. It's not clear why this happens and Zebra isn't really supported by its authors anymore. They suggest moving to Elasticsearch, which is also an option with Koha. I've found the cronjob workaround works well enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

It sounds like something a lot of people might have run into and have solved on system administration level. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

So, thanks! I'll try to do the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
