Hi Erwann, did you recently update to version 8.1.5.100, or was the convertion from sequ. Filepool to Directory Container Pool done using version 8.1.5.100?
Spectrum Protect server version 8.1.5 introduced automatic container defragmentation for directory-containers. The server checks for container fragmentation and automatically runs defragmentation for containers surpassing thresholds controlled by the DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER and DEFRAGFSTRIGGER.

Servers are at 8.1.5.100 level. Those servers were using legacy File Pools with deduplication enabled that have been converted into Directory Container Pools. I'm seeing a lot (a lot !) of Move Container (Automatic) that fills up my directories (free space is occupied by Containers in Pending State). Those Containers in Pending State can be as many as the ones in ReadWrite State (reusedelay is set to 4 days). Is there a mean to have more control on this ? Another strange observation regarding fragmentation evaluation. 13.11.2018 13:09:55 ANR4392I CONTAINER DEFRAGMENTATION started processing stgpool PRIM_CONTAINER. Containers are only using 98.12% of 150053.46 GB due to fragmentation. (PROCESS: 14462) and one hour later, fragmentation is higher (with no other process, such as Expire Inventory, that have run) : 13.11.2018 14:08:34 ANR4392I CONTAINER DEFRAGMENTATION started processing stgpool PRIM_CONTAINER. Containers are only using 97.00% of 149378.75 GB due to fragmentation. (PROCESS: 14516) -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي Erwann SIMON
