Issue/Introduction
You may experience an issue where the used% of /tmp is suddenly rocketing due to the large-sized file, gpcc_pg_log_stage.
gpcc_pg_log_stage files are actually used as a temp files generated in /tmp by default to store the log entries from pg_log, which is to be loaded into Greenplum Command Center (GPCC). Sometimes, it will become a large size if pg_log is extremely big in size, especially when GPCC is just getting installed. Usually after the installation completes, this file gets much smaller.
