i'm really not sure what you are trying to achieve here, but the temp files are probably created and immediately unlinked, and then the existing handle to the temp file is used from then on. that means normal filesystem tools won't see them. jens On Wednesday, Sep 18, 2002, at 19:08 US/Eastern, markus wrote:

hi,

while uploading a file through the ZMI, i'd tried to locate this file on the filesystem on my linux box. with 'df' i saw that the space on /var was used. i've tried to locate the file, but i've had no success. then i used a simple "du -sb /var > out1 && sleep 10 && du -sb /var > out2 && diff -a out1 out2" to find the file. but there was no diff!! but meanwhile /var used about 10MB more space.

any help?
