I think it's about time this bug should be fixed.
In the mean time, I made a cleanup script for Debian -
#! /bin/bash
# from /etc/rc.local make this script run.
#Estimate free space from df
temp=$(df | grep --word-regexp /)
temp=$(echo $temp | cut -d ' ' -f4)
# If space is less than 500 MB.....
if [[ $temp -le 512000 ]]
then
echo "Making free space, cleaning up redundant files....."
aptitude clean
cd /home
DIRs="$(ls -d */ -1)"
while [[ $DIRs != "" ]]
do
cur_dir="$(echo "$DIRs" | head -1)"
rm -R "$cur_dir".thumbnails/*
rm -R "$cur_dir".cache/*
DIRs="$(echo "$DIRs" | grep --line-regexp --invert-match "$cur_dir")"
done
echo "Done freeing up."
fi
This'll basically remove /home/*/.thumbnails/* and /home/*/.thumbnails/*
i.e. in each directory inside home it'll remove .thumbnails/* and .cache/*
If you're on another distro, just remove 'aptitude clean'.
This's intended to be run at startup.
