OPNsense Forum

I've noticed in the /tmp folder on my firewall a large number of files accumulating and I think they are related to ARP collection.

My system has been up since upgrading to 26.1.3 for 5 days, 16:15. The number of these files is currently 16316 and are being generated on average every 30 seconds.

Hi Larry,

> src/opnsense/service/modules/actions/script_output.py:    temp_prefix = 'tmpcfd_'

It's for the background service.  A peek into the files may help with who is requesting them.

The backend log will also show how many times something is requested:

# opnsense-log -f configd


Cheers,
Franco

Could be 'request arp table' but not every time.

Busy dashboard open perhaps?

I saw this, too. The culprit may be the HomeAssistant OPNsense plugin. In its default settings, it scans every 30 seconds.

Quote from: meyergru on March 10, 2026, 07:35:46 PMI saw this, too. The culprit may be the HomeAssistant OPNsense plugin. In its default settings, it scans every 30 seconds.

I don't use HomeAssistant so I can rule that one out.

My dashboard hasn't changed in quite a long time, so I can't attribute this to any changes there.

I'm also seeing a file being created at 1-minute past the hour, every hour. I suspect this is coming from 'List syslog applications'

Can you try this patch and see if that's better?

    # opnsense-patch https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/914e5a20e
    # rm /tmp/tmpcfd_*
    # service configd restart

One lingering file for each cache is expected.  On my end that's 11 files after a reboot. Shouldn't grow that substantially anymore.


Cheers,
Franco

Yup. 11 lingering files for me, as well. Intermediately, new ones get created and then deleted again.

BTW: I could not even use the rm command, because with >36.000 files, the command line was too long.

Ok, we decided to release this patch into today's 26.1.4.  Almost there.  :)


Thanks,
Franco

I applied the patch as instructed and left it for a while. I observed two of these files in /tmp after the hour rolled over.

I later updated to 26.1.4 and also left it for a while. I now have the 11 files in /tmp

Cheers,

Great, thanks again for the report!

The vast majority of 0 byte files were created on the 8th of July with the first one being at 15:21:21.

The time stamp for dmesg.boot is 'Jul  8 13:04:55 2026' and uptime is: 11:55PM  up 6 days, 10:50

On the 8th of July we had an extended power outage commencing in the morning. The power was restored around 1:00 PM.

I updated OPNsense from 26.1.11_5 to 26.1.11_6 recently and I believe it was after the power event.

Is there a command to list the time the updates were installed?

I'll reboot OPNsense so the /tmp folder is cleared.

Reviewing System -> Log Files -> Backend and filtered the Error events using '2026-07-08T15:2'.

Between 15:21:21 and 15:29:59, there were 1992 entries which appear to be all the same except for the GUID in the 4th column. I'm including only one line.

Hi Larry,

Thanks, we're looking into it.

Just wondering what d8a70aede1c95108c0296f6a6abfebaa is... would you mind checking this out?

# md5sum /tmp/tmpcfd_* | grep d8a70aede1c95108c0296f6a6abfebaa

And see what the content is of these files (if they are still on your disk)?


Thanks,
Franco

Hi Franco,

These two files returned immediately after rebooting at 00:03. Since looking at the time stamp on these files and extracting more detail, one of the files was updated at 9:52:28 - the content is the same.

I'm only using IPv4.

Hi Larry,

Ad found the bug that leaves the temp file when the command crashed:

# opnsense-patch https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/9b0767001e
# service configd restart

The "interface gateways list" command for the second question has several arguments and it may end up caching the same content multiple times in two different files for that reason:

src/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Routes/Route.xml:                <ConfigdPopulateAct>interface gateways list</ConfigdPopulateAct>
src/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Routing/GatewayGroups.xml:                <ConfigdPopulateAct>interface gateways list -l</ConfigdPopulateAct>

These two likely produce the same output most of the time but are different parameters so effectively different calls. I also have two files with the same content.


Cheers,
Franco

Hi Franco,

Much appreciate your teams prompt action.

Patch applied... I'll keep an eye on /tmp for a while.

Cheers,

Larry.

I have the same(?) problem with recently updated 25.1.12. /tmp full of files tmpcfd_* filling up the disk. The system felt slow and I rebootet it. It got stuck on reboot at the point where it deletes /tmp/*. It took a couple of hours to delete all the files.
Now with an uptime of 5 minutes there are already.

Any chance to get a patch for this older version?

The patches are in this thread, but you should really update to the maintained version instead.


Cheers,
Franco

OPNsense had been up for 7 days since the patch was applied and no problems observed.

Rebooted it 10-hours ago and all is looking well in /tmp.

Thank you.

Hey Larry,

Nice, thank you for the follow up.  :)


Cheers,
Franco
