Description WR Franklin 2009-01-04 19:40:09 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
beagled writes tens of thousands of tmp*.tmp files into /tmp until the partition fills.   

Versions of this problem have been reported for several years, yet I see no open bug report.



Steps to reproduce:
1. Start beagled
2. Observe other applications failing because / is full.
3. 


Actual results:
"beagled writes tens of thousands of tmp*.tmp files into /tmp until the partition fills. "  

Expected results:
beagled NOT writing tens of thousands of tmp*.tmp files into /tmp until the partition fills.   

Does this happen every time?
yes.

Other information:
If there was a way to specify what tmp directory beagled uses, then the problem would be mitigated since I could specify a larger partition where beagled wouldn't compete with other programs.

The previous problems were all fixed - the new one is with mono-2.0. I am pretty sure you are using mono-2.x. The original report is for the thunderbird backend but it will happen for anything that creates tmp files. See the original bug report for details on the problem.
