Huge ImageMagick temp files?

[Ben W. Brumfield]

I've incorporated riiif into benwbrum/fromthepage and am delighted -- great stuff!

I do have one problem, however -- it seems that riiif generates enormous temporary files through ImageMagick, as I discovered when /tmp filled up after I pointed Mirador at my production server:

-rw------- 1 fromthepage fromthepage 160563200 Oct  1 16:13 magick-27931xH7AjyMNUao2

Any guess as to what's causing this or how to remediate it?

That sounds like imagemagick is crashing. I'm going to guess this is because you exceeded the memory limit. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/resources.php for configuration parameters. Another possibility is that the Linux Out Of Memory (OOM) killer is reaping the process.

[Ben W. Brumfield]

That hadn't occurred to me at all.

Thanks for the help -- I'll try to do some controlled tests to see what's
going on.

@benwbrum what was the cause / fix?

[Ben W. Brumfield]

I can't be 100% sure, but I'd upgraded Imagemagick between spotting the
problem and discovering that it seemed to be fixed, so that's my best guess.
