Pagemap size in proc/[pid]/task folder is 35GB

Hi All,

Config: Arch Linux

Have anyone faced an issue where the disk space usage has gone upto 100% with one particular file occupying 35GB of space.
file location /proc/372/task/372/pagemap

We are not sure whether we can delete this file. The support team says they cant look into this issue as its unmanaged and cant access file system.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Anything in /proc/ is not a file. Hire a sysadmin before you break things, badly.
