Hugin writes a lot of temp files in TIFF format which is a lossless format and therefor takes a lot of space.  If you are stitching a lot of images at a very large size each individual TIFF file could be hundreds of megabytes in size, resulting in gigabytes of space being used temporarily.  If you have checked any of the boxes under "Remapped Images" in the stitching tab, or Hugin crashes during the stitching process then the temporary files will not get cleaned up.

The temporary files should be in the same directory as the images you are stitching unless you have changed the default.  You can look in the preferences under "Filenames" and right at the top is your Temporary dir path.  If it's blank, then it should be in the same place as your source images.

I set my computer up with home on it's own drive. I discovered last night (when I was my gigapixel rendering) the setup is screwed up somehow (I came close to running out of disk space and df says there is a LOT of space on home). Could someone tell me where I screwed up and how to fix this? Well looking at df again it says /home is using 50 gig which indicates it is being used. Why did I run out of room?
