[ckan-dev] cache_dir

[Marco Combetto]

I revamp this old thread about the caching because I just crashed my Production CKAN.Could I get rid of these files periodically? Is there a way?
In facts, I just realized today that our CKAN is producing hundreds of thousands of small files on the cache directory (/session in particular), file like this:
./default/sessions/container_file/5/59/5992e9b028454f8684e5d53a0f2a8005.cache
Basically the file system crashed because we reached the max number of INode on it.
Is there a setting on the PRODUCTION.INi to avoid this caching? Is there any issue related if I setup a cron job that delete these files  periodically
Thanks a lot for any suggestions
