Description
An error message appears:
"The available space in /tmp has reached -%. Restart the device to free up space or contact your administrator."
This can indicate that the /tmp partition is filling up rapidly, potentially causing performance issues.
Cause
-
Enhanced debugging:
- When Enhanced Debugging is continuously active, log files become larger, consuming space quickly.
-
Citrix Log Files:
- Certain Citrix files may become too large, contributing to the space shortage in /tmp.
Resolution
1. Turn Off Enhanced Logging
- Disabling Enhanced Debugging reduces the size of log files. This can be done by setting the log level to Off:
- Scout Console > Device Configuration > Diagnostics tab > Set Log Level to Off.
2. Disable Citrix Logging
-
Disabling Citrix logging can prevent specific files from growing excessively in /tmp.
-
To do this, define a custom application in the Scout Console with the following settings:
Additional Settings:
-
Set Autostart to Enabled with a delay (e.g., 20 seconds) to ensure smooth startup.
Issue/Introduction
By turning off Enhanced Debugging and setting Citrix logging to a minimum, the /tmp partition can be managed effectively, preventing excessive space usage and ensuring consistent device performance.
