[gpfsug-discuss] Thousands of empty ccrChangedCallback folders

[Popescu, Razvan]

Hi,

I have a month and a half old case with IBM Support that seems to go nowhere (!!) and I thought that maybe some of you might have seen or heard of something similar….  I thank you in advance for any clue, tip, solution, or recommendation you might have for me, as apparently IBM is chasing its tail on this matter (although escalated to Sev 2)….

On one of our Scale NSD servers, which is also our GUI master,  I have ~50,000 (fifty thousand!!)  empty folders of each:


/var/mmfs/ssl/keyServ/tmp/ccrChangedCallback_421.sh.NNNNN

/var/mmfs/tmp/cmdTmpDir.ccrChangedCallback_421.sh.NNNNN



(NNNNN is a 5 digit number/counter)



The count varies, I’ve seen it over 100 thousand (!) at times, but never under 30k or so.



I asked why these empty (temp) folders are not cleaned up, given their excessively high count, but IBM is still struggling to understand their origin.    It appears that I started to have these folders after we upgrade our system to 5.1.0.3     (The folders trip our backup monitor so that’s how we even discovered them)



Any idea?



Many thanks,

Razvan
