Using all disk space in minutes

[StinkyTACO]

i have a fairly high traffic endpoint which is serving some isos for a vm app.

after starting up npm it will comsume all possible disk space 100+gb in mere minutes how would i fix this ? i think atleast that caching is disabled and using DU in CLI doesn't show where the storage space is going.

yes this is NPM when shutting down the proxy all storage space is regained.

so i have a hunch its still caching somehow.

Edit:

i managed to find this but how do i fix it ?
