Root file system filling up on 7.0.1 appliance. Temp files in /var/lib/vco/app-server/data/hornetq/largemessages

Can someone explain to me what the files are in /var/lib/vco/app-server/data/hornetq/largemessages and why they are created.  This directory has ballooned up a couple of times on us and taken the orchestrator offline.

vRO uses JMS messaging internally. What is supposed to be stored in this directory are so called large messages - https://docs.jboss.org/hornetq/2.2.5.Final/user-manual/en/html/large-messages.html

Usually, the messages are removed after consumed by the client. Perhaps there is some JMS communication issue that causes messages to not be acknowledged as received.

I can't remember if there were bug reports in the past about stale JMS messages filling up the disk; will check internal bug tracker next week.

Thanks... this seems to be happening pretty consistently somewhat all of a sudden on our main production vRO server.  We also had this happen on our main dev server and it looks like some files might have also become corrupt.  We have a ticket open with support on both accounts.  Cases 16216833808 and 16217901408.
