There should be a cron job that cleans these up for you.<br>
It should be in /etc/cron.d/zendto.<br>
The relevant line in that file is this one:<br>
<br>
5 */4 * * * root find -H /var/zendto/incoming -type f -mmin +1440
-delete >/dev/null 2>&1<br>
<br>
This will fire every 4 hours, deleting any files in
/var/zendto/incoming that are more than 24 hours old.<br>
<br>
ZendTo takes files from the user's browser in chunks nowadays, as
that gets around all the problems caused by "network protection"
devices/software in all their ugly forms. Those are numbered chunks
from an upload that never completed.<br>
<br>
They are totally superfluous, and should be deleted automatically by
the cron job above. I would be interested to hear if that line is
missing from your cron.d file or if you have a ".rpmnew" file in
there or similar.<br>
<br>
I haven't bothered logging the individual chunks as they're by
default only 50 MB. So there can be an awful lot of them appearing
on a busy server, and they amount to nothing useful unless the
upload completes properly, at which point they are creating a new
drop-off and so lots of stuff is logged.<br>
<br>
I hope that clears up that question for you.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

From time to time, I'm finding abandoned files in 'incoming', of
the form:
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">bKH5SY6MTmy2fJ4b6N3N5XbyjCbnw8if.1
<br>
bKH5SY6MTmy2fJ4b6N3N5XbyjCbnw8if.2

The dates on the files leave me confident they are derelict, so I
smoke the oldest and reclaim my disk space.
<br>
<br>
I've tried to find the footprints of these files in logs, but have
failed. It looks to me like these are used during upload, before
ZendTo creates a 16-character directory name in 'dropoffs' and
relocates the files to it. But it doesn't look like ZendTo logs
the activity until the upload is complete.
<br>

I'd like to do something more than periodically empty my disk of
abandoned files. I'd like to figure out why they are abandoned,
and correct the problem. In what log should I be looking to find
more footprints?
