Greetings,

I am not very familiar with Zen Cart. I am trying to help someone out who is having server problems in the form of excessive inode creation, i.e. vast numbers of directories and files are being generated by their Zen Cart installation.

I have isolated this to a cache folder located at 'installation root'/cache/ssu/pc

There are numbered and lettered directories that keep getting regenerated there that go from 0-9 and a-f. Each directory has many subdirectories repeating this format many many subdirectories deep.

Eventually if you go in deep enough you come across a file such as 00d00eda7365637c6b1e8f2ac9213a1d_en.txt that will have something like: 'gift-certificates-c-25?page=1&sort=3a' as the only content.

They are running Zen Cart 1.3.8a with Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

I would love to be able to stop this excessive file generation as their hosting company is not happy about this. When I deleted the files for them this weekend it removed over 700,000 directories and files.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
