A few questions here on /nsr/tmp.

It's currently only 4.6 MB, and it's not being backed up as there is a default /nsr/tmp/.nsr file to skip everything under there, so I'm assuming that EMC doesn't consider this information vital.

1. *If* you shut down NW first, is it safe to remove everything under /nsr/tmp ?

2. When you re-start NW, will it automatically re-create the 'tmp' directory, or will it be necessary to first manually re-create it before restarting NW?

3. I see a number of older lock files under /nsr/tmp and lots of client completion information files named like:

/nsr/tmp/sg/groupname/ss.client.blah-blah-blah.

It looks like these get replaced each day, but regardless, do I really need any of the stuff under /nsr/tmp?

Will removing everything under tmp cause any headaches to NW, e.g. give it heart failure or cause it to fail to operate properly, wherein maybe somehow it might expect to see previous information stored under there somewhere, but now it can no longer access it?

4. Is it recommended to periodically clean out tmp?

Thanks.

George
