Ubuntu dedicated, folder /lib/udev/devices/fd

Hi,

What's the purpose of the subject folder mentioned? On my desktop it takes up to 40+Gb (which is about 20% of entire drive :wacko:) and files in there are always changing... :blink:

I'm a bit short in a free space, trying to clean up some.

Is there any chance to somehow cleanup or limit the size of this folder (I guess it's used somehow by the system).

/lib/udev is not to be messed with :-)

How did you reach the conclusion that it's using 20 Gb?

Be careful deleting that. You are likely to need a reinstall.

Hi, I used a FAR manager under wine to calc folder size. BTW it's not 20Gb, but 20% of drive.

Thanks, I'll leave it as it is :)
