Package: qbittorrent Followup-For: Bug #880229 I am using qbittorrent 3.3.15, I am having /tmp in ram (tmpfs) and what you mention does not happen. I also have all my browsers' caches inside /tmp as well (/tmp/cache) and I do keep at least one browser open all the time.
More specifically. This is what i have in my fstab for /tmp tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 This is what df -h reports for when downloading a 1GB torrent - at the beggining of the download tmpfs 2.0G 29M 2.0G 2% /tmp - at ~25% of the download tmpfs 2.0G 37M 1.9G 2% /tmp - at ~50% of the download tmpfs 2.0G 38M 1.9G 2% /tmp - at ~100% of the download tmpfs 2.0G 58M 1.9G 3% /tmp Litterally NO difference at all, because all that space is allocated by /tmp/cache $ du -h /tmp/cache/ 4.0K /tmp/cache/opera/Media Cache/index-dir 88K /tmp/cache/opera/Media Cache 40K /tmp/cache/opera/Cache/index-dir 58M /tmp/cache/opera/Cache 58M /tmp/cache/opera 58M /tmp/cache/ All qbittorrent writes in /tmp is an empty folder (/tmp/.qBittorrent) and 2 zero-sized files in /tmp named qtsingleapp-qBitto-something, nothing more. p.s. Do you really have that problem in 3.3.7 or you just... assume it will be a problem for someone who has /tmp in ram? Because many other executables write in /tmp regularly, e.g. systemd, and not a single one has caused problems to others due to low space. I have /tmp in ram for the last 6-7 years. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages qbittorrent depends on: ii geoip-database 20171107-1 ii libboost-system1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libc6 2.25-3 ii libgcc1 1:7.2.0-16 ii libqt5core5a 5.9.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5dbus5 5.9.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5gui5 5.9.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5network5 5.9.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5widgets5 5.9.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5xml5 5.9.2+dfsg-4 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-16 ii libtorrent-rasterbar9 1.1.4-1 ii python 2.7.14-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 qbittorrent recommends no packages.
