Hi, I’m Aiden.

I use AWX 13.0.0 to maintain systems.  
but when a job runs using a template, it occupies a big space on /tmp.

I know when the job runs, it temporarily uses the directory(/tmp) by JOB EXECUTION PATH.  
but it occupies so big space.

AWX copies origin files on /tmp/awx\_${JOB\_ID}\_${UNKOWN\_ID}.  
It looks like files under roles cause occupying a big space on /tmp.

**Q1. Is there an option to disable scan and copy working in AWX 13.0.0?**

**Q2. Is there a way to config which directories only are copied in AWX 13.0.0?**

Thanks for reading my request

This is an older, unsupported version of AWX. We recommend upgrading to latest versions if possible, that way we can better help with any issues that you may encounter.
