Prestashop 1.7.8.5 Disk space problem caused by .mad files

[ZiedDams]

Hello guys , Hope you all doing good.

im working on prestashop 1.7.8.5 and i added a module that override Category Class and CategoryController

and i made some changes and evrythink work correctly .

the problem is in /home/var/tmp folder
.mad files are generated with big sizes and in some cases (not all the time) they are not autodeled wiche is the normal case in mysql

so i run into diskspace problem .

any ideas please ?

without taking a look at the module's code, we can't tell what's wrong with it so it creates those large files.

What you can do is create a cron task to delete them, something like this for example:

0 2 * * * find /home/var/tmp -name "*.mad" -type f -mtime +1 -exec rm -f {} \;
