Question

FMS edge server tmp files issue

I have a few edge servers connecting to an origin server and over time the FMS's tmp directory in the edge server is filled with .proxy files like

MTA0MDAxMDE2Ng=.proxy

MTA0MDAxMjg1MQ=.proxy

MTA0MDU2MzAyOA=.proxy

MTA0MDYzNDU2MA=.proxy

MTA0MTE4MjgyNw=.proxy

MTA0MTM3OTcwNg=.proxy

MTA0MTM4NjIzNQ=.proxy

MTA0MTMzNzE2Nw=.proxy

MTA0MTYxNjUyNQ=.proxy

Over time this becomes millions of files, which then considerably slows down the system and the performance of FMS. I have to restart FMS and delete all the files in the tmp directory regularly and this makes my cluster very difficult to manage.

Can anyone help me on how to remove all these files automatically? Or if there is any config that I am missing which might cause this issue?

hey one541_,

i believe for you to be gettiing .proxy files you must be having disk caching enabled. These are created to handle process mutex.  These files get removed as soon as fms shuts down. If these are not getting deleted maybe you are not shutting the edge server (in the edge origin configuration) down properly or you are not shutting down at all.
