Dear all, I'm having a severe issue with MySQL server 8.0. The mysqld process doesn't release lock on deleted temp table, consuming a lot of disk space. This is a partail output of lsof command: mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *592u REG 253,0 1048584 34759935 /tmp/mysql_temptable.ol3xZW (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *593u REG 253,0 1048584 34760055 /tmp/mysql_temptable.CpaEXB (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *594u REG 253,0 1048584 34759954 /tmp/mysql_temptable.LkmsvB (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *595u REG 253,0 1048584 34759944 /tmp/mysql_temptable.SLnDoR (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *596u REG 253,0 1048584 34759929 /tmp/mysql_temptable.2TozJv (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *597u REG 253,0 1048584 34759946 /tmp/mysql_temptable.pkVIfG (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *598u REG 253,0 1048584 34760014 /tmp/mysql_temptable.ikVMIA (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *599u REG 253,0 1048584 34761022 /tmp/mysql_temptable.kTfeeY (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *600u REG 253,0 1048584 34759906 /tmp/mysql_temptable.K7EfKt (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *601u REG 253,0 1048584 34759953 /tmp/mysql_temptable.k5pCqB (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *602u REG 253,0 1048584 34759934 /tmp/mysql_temptable.F54V80 (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *603u REG 253,0 1048584 34759942 /tmp/mysql_temptable.3xlL2B (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *604u REG 253,0 1048584 34760074 /tmp/mysql_temptable.iK2iJj (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *605u REG 253,0 1048584 34759943 /tmp/mysql_temptable.lYxfQS (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *606u REG 253,0 1048584 34759959 /tmp/mysql_temptable.Sn5PFx (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *607u REG 253,0 1048584 34759941 /tmp/mysql_temptable.A8z4bn (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *608u REG 253,0 1048584 34759921 /tmp/mysql_temptable.jgBJOb (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *609u REG 253,0 1048584 34759907 /tmp/mysql_temptable.92quX4 (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *610u REG 253,0 1048584 34759908 /tmp/mysql_temptable.v3h9aG (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *611u REG 253,0 1048584 34760039 /tmp/mysql_temptable.0ZNMEs (deleted) mysqld 13831 13850 mysql *612u REG 253,0 1048584 34760054 /tmp/mysql_temptable.Biv5Jj (deleted) When the process is restarted, the locked space is released and everything go back to normal: File system Dim.
