i had to reboot the pi4 with 4GB RAM, tmp was cleared. The mjpg-streamer was an attempt(without reading) to get a usbwebcam working, i uninstalled it.
G\_TREESIZE /tmp shows at the moment 0,0 bytes for 4 files (logind.service, redis-server, lms, coturn).
I will try PrivateTmp=true for LMS and will see what happens in the next two days.
(last command rm /tmp/[^.]??? does not work, file or folder not found).

The command was to remove the LMS files before reboot. Makes sense that they are not there anymore, especially with PrivateTmp=true (which moves them into a subdirectory).

tmp is full again, restart of lms has no succes,
but i found that nextcloud is logging every second, i was not aware of this.
I changed the loglevel in var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php
from 0 to 2.
Can i see in tmp if nextcloud has a PrivateTmp and could be the cause for full /tmp directory?
I answer myself, i found
```nohighlight
Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\DriverException: An exception occurred while executing a query: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1021 Disk full (/tmp/#sql-temptable-3aa-11e5-ca.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space... (errno: 28 "No space left on device")
```
in the log were mostly keepassweb, recognize, music, workflowocr, i disabled these apps.
I reboot and keep an eye on nextcloud.

still strange that we don’t see what files are using /tmp
Does /tmp is still filling up? Maybe you can check before it is getting to 100% usage.

I guess following doesn’t show anything still. Right?
```nohighlight
G_TREESIZE /tmp

G\_TREESIZE /tmp gives similar result asls -la

Yes contact might be similar but important question is if it gives a file size.

Isn’t the file size between group and date in ls -la?

ls -la is showing the size of files only. It did not show any information on folders or the content inside. This is what usually G\_TREESIZE does. It sum up the space used by folders. But in your case, something strange is going on as you system is showing always 0. Doesn’t matter how much space is used.

Please try to restart or stop the other services with use a private tmp subdir:
```nohighlight
systemctl stop coturn systemd-logind
systemctl restart redis-server # just restarting since Nextcloud strictly requires it
sleep 2
df -h /tmp
systemctl start coturn systemd-logind

Why cannot I see that nextcloud MySQL is using /tmp?
May be offtopic, There is one failure in nextcloud system check

you could try to restart all DietPi managed services

Nope, before and after restarting all “dietpi managed services” /tmp is 95%full.

Should I do a fresh install or continue investigating?
Or add a Cron job and reboot every 2 days?
(I could try to see if backup works in a virtual machine)

You can’t restore a backup from a physical device on a virtual machine. They both use different architecture.

I meant to restore the sql-dump of nextcloud in a virtual machine, that’s most important for me.
I am not sure how to export/import the certificates for my domain yet.
Pihole and lms would be ok

The SQL dump is one thing. The Nextcloud data another. They would need to be migrated as well.
HTTPS certificates should not be an issue, as they could be recreated easily.
Pihole themselves offer a function to export/import settings.

I used lsof to display open files, but still do not understand where to look. maybe its a cron issue?

Indeed it seems to be a cron job creating ~320 MiB large files (and removes them again). Check your cron jobs in /etc/cron.daily/ and /etc/cron.hourly/.
