Although cPanel automatically deletes the unused files, the /tmp would be getting full very quickly on a busy server.Drive Critical: /usr/tmpDSK (/tmp) is 100% full
The /tmp partition on cPanel servers, assuming it was the one cPanel created and not one you did yourself, is a file-based partition that can easily be resized.
By default on most servers, /tmp is the temporary dumping place for a lot of things, for example:
- PHP session files
- PHP temporary file uploads
- MySQL temporary files
- Cache files for certain Apache modules
