Thansk Jeremy for your suggestion
Actully i googled a lot but could not find any document where i find how
mongerl
handles upload,actully mongrel is doing garbase collection but not the
way i want or aplication want.this is actully what;s happening

mongrel1.1.2
ruby 1.8.6
apche 2.2.16
i am running Apche frontend to mongrel and trying to upload some large
file(from rails application) to filesystem.Few things i observed.

1 - The uploaded data is stored in a file "mongrel.4124.0"
2 - the mongrel file is copied to a CGI.4124.0 file (I suppose this is
the regular Ruby tempfile)
3 - the tempfile is copied to the right location with the code above.

after upload finishes ruby's temporary file is being garbaselly
collected but mongrel temporary file is still holding memory and i would
like to avoid this situation.
Now again i tried to uplaod same files same things happens but this TIME
mongrel old temorary file is being deleted but new mongerl file again
holding the memory..
                                                                                           what
coud i do now
cud you please provide me some good link where i can find more
information about mongrel like how it handles upoload or it do garbase
collection

Yaa Jeremy i really need do delete those file..

Why? Are you running into file system limitations due to size and
number of files? Or are you just offended by temporary files on
principle, like I am?

In my rails application i am uploading some large file (2gb) and while
doing mongrel +ruby temp file is being created ,ruby temp files is not
the problem because they are garbaselly collecting after upload but
mongerl temprary files are sitll holding memory
that is why iw ant to delete them only after i restart mongerl i get
ridoff those temp files but i don't restart server

Does the Mongrel process handling the upload balloon up as well as
create a file that cannot be reclaimed?

If so, create a minimal app (as has been suggested), and see if you
can narrow down the problem. It is possible that a) either your Ruby
program is not garbage collected, or that Mongrel shows a strange bug
when dealing with large downloads.

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.

Phillip thanks for your response...
Actually ruby temporary file is garbaselly collected after upload
finishes but it mongrel temporary file who is giving trouble to me.

mongrel file which handle this garbase collection ,if i know about the
file i can do something

I don't know of any awesome Mongrel documentation myself. Sorry. Maybe
the folks on the Mongrel Users list
(http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users\) can help more.
