[Linaro-validation] Empty files in lava-logs...

Hi all,

In formulating our global backup solution, we’ve encountered a directory that contains nearly 600,000 empty files. It is in "/var/lib/lava-server/default/media/lava-logs”.

Looking in the lava-server code, I *think* the offending line is in models.py:

log_file = models.FileField( upload_to='lava-logs', default=None, null=True, blank=True)

The worrying thing is, there are a few files that *do* have something in - a total of 22M worth to date.

The issue is really about eating up inodes.

Can anyone enlighten us as to if these files server any purpose, and if we can perhaps at least ignore the empty ones?

Thanks

Dave
