Root cause: my mempalace mine on the auto-memory dir hit a chromadb 1.x HNSW compaction bug that wrote a 10.2 TB sparse link_lists.bin (≈1.5 TB on disk) before crashing. The
crash didn't release the file handle, and the MCP server processes pinned the deleted inodes. Kill of PIDs 1581835 / 1581850 freed everything.

Environment:

  • OS: Nobara
  • MemPal version: 3.1.0
