Hello,

I am having problems with the vsf-nested.tmp dir size (in the jboss temp folder). I have already read other posts in these forums like this one, but the solutions I have read are not working for me.

I thought that the problem could have something to do with the fact that in my JBoss installation I have set an extra dir as deployment dir (and outside of the JBOSS_HOME). For this, I have the profile.xml modified with a new entry:

  <list elementClass="java.net.URI">

     <value>${jboss.server.home.url}deploy</value>

     <!--<value>file:/${my.external.base.dir}/deploy</value> -->

                              </list>

And, as I read in this other post I have updated the vsf.xml file (in server/default/conf/bootstrap) adding a new entry for this additional folder:

        <entry>

          <key>file:/${my.external.base.dir}/deploy</key>

          <value><inject bean="VfsNamesExceptionHandler"/></value>

        </entry>

The thing is that when the server is up and my application is running, from time to time the number of jars in the [MY_JBOSS_HOME]/server/default/tmp/vfs-nested.tmp dir is increasing. Each time the same jars are added (but with different prefixes), so the disk ends running out of space.

I have seen in other posts and in the documentation that it´s possible to set options for VFS tunning like "jboss.vfs.forceCopy", but I have also read that this could solve the disk space problem but become a memory problem.

I think that the external dir can have something to do with the problem because I have the same application with a JBoss without external deployments dir that haven´t got the problem (with no extra configuration). So I don´t know if I am missing any configuration since I added this extra folder, if there is any incompatibility or what ...

Additional info:

• Running the default profile
• The machine in which JBoss is running is a Linux machine
• The folder increases always the same amount of MB

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
