- So... started to have issues with my server hard drive space filling up. My tmp folder is 66 GB! It's filled with gantry_lessxxxxx files. The xxxxxx are random letters/numbers. Is this related to the gantry less files and if so, can I dump these files?

There are so many files that I can't do a rm on the folder so I've started deleting them in chunks. It doesn't seem to be making a difference on any of my sites.
Is there a way to stop these files from being created? Are they necessary?

- It's making these files as soon as I delete them... somebody has to have the same issue!

- Wow! Does anybody have an answer as to why this is happening? Right now, I have a crontab running to remove gantry_less* once a day. Incidentally, since I've been doing this, errors on my server have decreased as well.

- I just found out my tmp folder is also filling up with gantry files, thousands of them. You ever find a solution? I've had to do a cron job to delete everything in that folder. I'm sure there's a better way of dealing with this.

Hi there,
Are you referring to your hosting account root tmp or public tmp?
I have about 20 test/demo sites on my server and I have zero gantry_lessxxxxx files saved to any tmp directory.
RocketTheme do not have anything that should be generating this problem. Can your host provide any light from the server logs?

Can you also check you permissions please because it could possibly be the LESS compiler is able to write a new compiled-css but not delete olds ones?
For permission issues check...
i) site > system information > directory permissions - are all GREEN (except config.php which should be red)
ii) check folders are 755, files 644 and that owner/group are correct using ftp client
iii) specifically check cache folder and css-compiled folder
iv) check that your are NOT using apachehandler for you hosting and that instead you are using fastCGI/cgi. If you are you need to correct this in cPanel or Plesk or ask your host to change this. Then you'll have to start again afresh.
v) Use the Joomla Forum Post Assistant to do detailed checks http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860

Sorry for the delay in responding...
At root level of my server, there is a tmp folder. I've since moved my sites to a newer, faster server and as far as I can tell, I'm not having this issue anymore, although, I did set up the automatic removal of those files via crontab (rm -rf /tmp/gantry_less*) when I set this server up. I've suspended that crontab and I'll check back later. It could have been permission based.
