The ramdisk 'tmp' is full.

Hi

I'm getting repeated error messages "The ramdisk 'tmp' is full..." on an HP ESXi, 6.5.0, 5310538

In the /tmp folder I had a very large ql_ima.log which I deleted with the rm command.

If I do a vdf -h it shows the tmp folder as size 256M and used 256M with 0B available.

Doing an ls -lsa on the tmp and all its subfolders shows only 11M of used space.

The ql_ima.log has now grown to 1.6M

If I delete the ql_ima_sdm.log_old I can recover 4.7M and that shows in the vdf results. But that soon gets consumed by the ql_ima.log

Any idea what’s going on and how I can recover the lost free space would be much appreciated.
