According to Linux standards, the /var/tmp directory should be preserved across reboots and should not be deleted frequently by the OS, and many Linux distributions never delete files from /var/tmp. Installers and programs that use /var/tmp are supposed to clean up after themselves and delete the temporary directories they create in /var/tmp. Since our install scripts do not clean up after themselves, the Fractus nodes suffer from an ever-growing number of temporary directories in /var/tmp (each containing copies of libfabric, nlohmann_json, and mutils) that are not deleted automatically.
