[tor-relays] "/var/tor/diff-cache" full!

[Salvatore Cuzzilla]

I realized that there was a misconfiguration on the ntpd daemon
could this be the reason? I just fixed it.

Currently, I can count ~260 files with approx 500K each (total 200M) , oldest one is
from yesterday.

I'll keep under monitoring for a while , let's what will happen.
