NAS not starting any services #25220444

I already put extra memory in my readynas just for crash plan and that eliminated any problems of running out of memory. The root partition filling up is a separate issue

I upgraded my memory also.
The Crashplan cache is 1-2 GB so it will fill up the OS partition. But crashplan doesn't normally put stuff in \tmp.

crashplan doesn't directly, but java does, which is used to run crashplan. Java puts a tmp file of some kind into /tmp.
but as I said earlier there is supposedly a way to edit /usr/local/crashplan/run/run.conf and you can assign an alternate standard tmp file location to be used when crashplan is launched through java.
See this wki page about half way down under the section "waiting for backup"
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CrashPlan
But generally I think i agree, the big culprit here is the crashplan cache filling up the root partition very easily. Though when I was looking into this, my /tmp dir was full with 1.3GB worth of junk of some kind also, so I would like to understand more about how to keep my /tmp file empty or run some kind of cron job that will routinely clean it out, but I'm not sure how to do that safely.
