I think I read something about that in logik, but search function in facebook sucks. I can’t find anything. Suddenly , with 10-15 gb free, my system disk is full. Assuming that flame or any kind of child process creates tmp files… How can I search them?

thanks

Imported geo and cameras can eat through a lot of space as well as it’s stored locally for each iteration so if you have a lot of projects/shots that you’ve been using them that could also be the culprit.

Today seems everything is normal. (?) , Yesterday even I had to move some files from my home folder, because Flame becomes totally unresponsive. After that, I could exit from flame.

Today /var/tmp are 180mb (today) . I could put bak the files copied and I have again my free space expected. I didn’t import fbx recently. And I use to have only 2-3 proyects max.

So now I can’t check anything. I’ll watch out next time.

Disk space Topic here?

> Current project I’m working on was, lets say “magically”, switched to work off of my iMac Pro’s internal drive, not my external- so mid project it has dropped from about 800GB free space down to 250- is there a safe way to migrate this project (or create a new one), and nuke all these old files? Could I: Create a new project set to the external drive drag desktop folders & batches over delete old project Would that be a route, or does that do nothing other than move things around? Do I arch…
