Lab slowly eating all disk space

Post by erik » Wed Sep 25, 2024 11:13 am

Hi,

I have one lab running in Eve with 6 vmx'es running and some shutdown other routers. The lab seems to eat 1GB of disk per every 2 to 3 days.
What keeps eating so much? I can imagine logs. I do a lot of wireshark captures, do they keep running somehow?

is there a way to stop this? Soon i am running out of space.

tnx Erik

Anytime you add a node to a lab it will get copied to /tmp/x/xyz lab directory consuming your disk space.

Of course, I understand. But I don't add nodes to my lab. Yesterday i had 12G disk available, today 11G. A few more days and it blows!
