Description

Motivation

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/jobs/138860 showed / being overly full on arm-1. Turned out the problem is:

# ls -ltrahS /tmp
total 24G

Suggestions

mojo.tmp files are mostly uploaded files that mojo stores in the upload process. worker sets $cachedir/tmp for those, webui assets/tmp - so the only place where we don't set a MOJO_TMPDIR afaik is os-autoinst. and about /tmp: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tmp_on_tmpfs . So regarding /tmp, should we look into MOJO_TMPDIR in os-autoinst, automatic cleanup of /tmp, ignore it?

[13/11/2019 10:48:59] <coolo> coolo@f102#~>cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf 
[13/11/2019 10:48:59] <coolo> d /tmp 1777 root root 10d
[13/11/2019 10:49:06] <coolo> for workers we should go with less days even
[13/11/2019 10:49:28] <coolo> but os-autoinst using /tmp is problematic in itself - we got pools on ssds and / on slow, small disks
[13/11/2019 10:50:01] <coolo> so setting MOJO_TMPDIR to pool directory is due anyway - I wonder why tests would upload GBs to os-autoinst though
[13/11/2019 10:50:08] <coolo> I mean these files weren't exactly small
[13/11/2019 10:52:09] <okurz> you know our testers, maybe someone downloading from within tests? like these xen images? but not these, as we are on arm
[13/11/2019 10:53:04] <sebastianriedel> Correct, it should be exclusively temporary uploads that were too large to put into memory and that were not cleaned up properly for "reasons"
[13/11/2019 10:53:49] <sebastianriedel> (or that are still being processed of course)
[13/11/2019 10:58:08] <coolo> with arm workers doing sudden deaths, I wouldn't worry about the cleanup part

MR merged. Next step: Prevent os-autoinst to write to potentially slow /tmp but use MOJO_TMPDIR in pool like openQA does.

The cache service has a bug where it creates its own tmp directory but never actually uses it for downloads.

The original problem was not about empty temp directories though but temp files that are used, are big and left behind.

Actions #9

Updated by kraih almost 5 years ago

Not using its own tmp dir means that the cache service is currently using /tmp to store tmp files for every download it performs.

FYI. Mojolicious does not create tmp files for uploads, ever. Those are exclusively for downloads.

yes. This makes sense now, thank you :)

A possible solution has been applied. Lets see if it resolves the issue. https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/2555

Looking at https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/jobs/176453 seems to reveal 85.73648718727136 on sda3 (btrfs) cf. the 85.22238780975964 in mapper/system-root (btrfs). Although it doesn't show what occupies that space... I gather the ls used above is not used anywhere in the CI script.

You are referring to https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/jobs/176453#L28 which is an alert about openqaworker-arm-2, a worker machine, not a webui host. For this ticket I was waiting for our Scrum Master to remind kraih to update his ticket ;) When we confirmed the feature works we should remove the custom tmpfile cleanup in salt.

I was trying to determine if this ticket is done, and that's what I figured based on the Motivation of the ticket. Surely the OP can correct me what the correct measure is, in addition to pointing out that I was wrong?

Yes, I mixed up webui and worker here.

I will delete the tmpfiles cleanup from workers again with https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/303 and will monitor if openQA is actually cleaning up after itself.

checked with salt -l error --no-color -C 'G@roles:worker' cmd.run "ls -ltra /tmp" and /tmp looks rather clean on workers
