cleanupTempfiles.minutes - default value

[air3ijai]

Hello,

We just did a test how the Pod will handle multiple restarts during backups.

1. At some point there maybe snapshot creation started and interrupted
2. As a result we may have a temporary backup file, which was not finished

   drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root          56 Jan  4 11:04 ..
   -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 20547669028 Jan  4 10:02 dump.rdb
   -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  5188599808 Jan  4 11:03 temp-1-3.rdb
   -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1432674655 Jan  4 10:46 temp-1-9.rdb
   -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1078273848 Jan  4 10:46 temp-2086607563.1.rdb
   -rw-r--r--. 1 root root           0 Jan  4 11:06 temp-2088105784.1.rdb
   

3. At the next start KeyDB will load the data and then start to sync from the Master
4. After the sync it will perform a new backup
5. This backup can be interrupted and as a result we may have one more temp file.

Doing this in a loop, we may running out of disk space. It is for sure a corner case.

Current value for the cleanupTempfiles.minutes is 60 minutes and it will not delete all precedent crashes happened just some minutes ago.

What is the main reason to have such a big value?

For Bitnami Redis Chart we use the following

master:
  preExecCmds: "rm -rf /data/temp*.*"

So, we will delete all temporary files right before the Redis start.

Got the issue today on the Dev after a lot of issues we experienced yesterday in the Kubernetes cluster
