- People here use OW 3.0. They turn on scrollbar on shelltool, the use file
- manager. Result: /tmp gets filled with megabytes of trash like:
-
- -rw------- 1 maxwell 8064 Jul 23 08:56 Text11572.0
-
- etc. But then accumulated from weeks. Since these diskless workstations share
- a disk partition on the sever for their root partitions, we end up with
- surprisingly little room on / for everybody.
-
- Why doesn't OW remove the suff when it is done with it? Note that stopping and
- restarting OW doesn't help. It is just old stuff that isnot removed and will
- not be removed unless you do it by hand.
