INITRD files filling up /tmp folder on Linux when 1-Touch is enabled

Have a particular Linux server that I’ve enabled 1-Touch.  It is creating a folder INITRD in /tmp, and a file “initrd” in /tmp as well.  I presume this is part of the 1-Touch process, as I can see in the sr.log file references to the INITRD folder.  I was wondering if this is something that the backup process should clean up after it is done, or if there is a way to specify a different “tmp” folder for this operation.

Also, in the sr.log I see “rm -f /tmp/initrd.img” but not “rm -f /tmp/initrd”.  The file that is left in /tmp has no .img extension.

I am assuming that /tmp may not have enough free space

bootcd.log :creation of cpio archive failed

sr_post_backup_log: Error: execution of cvcreateinitrd.sh …. failed

@DavidB , hope all is well.  following up to see if you confirmed it was a free space issue.

If not, let me know and I’ll tag in some Linux folks.

Thanks!
