Thanks for the response. I will need to wait a few days until tmp is more filled and will try systemctl restart havegd This is the outpout of systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service : ● systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service - Create Volatile Files and Directories Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Thu 2019-07-18 15:32:17 CEST; 2h 13min ago Docs: man:tmpfiles.d(5) man:systemd-tmpfiles(8) Process: 335 ExecStart=/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create --remove --boot --exclude-prefix=/dev (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 335 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service Jul 18 15:32:17 CESINEL_PACOM_Z0003 systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories...

Hello everyone. We have checked the forum extensively but have not found a good answer to our problem. Our system is based on a Orange Pi Zero Plus (512 MB), and it is running nicely. However, after some time, (10 - 15 days from the last boot) or /tmp directory gets full and most of the system is not operational. Only solution we have found for the moment is rebooting the system. This is the output of df -h in one of our systems which only shows 7% usage. This usage figure increases day by day.

So my question is: What is the proper way of clearing de /tmp directory? We have tried to simply erase everything inside it with rm /tmp/* -r but it seems that something (invisible) is still there since df -h still reports the /tmp is using 241 MB Thanks!
