I have a script that generates index for all my mail messages (using
glimpse). Sometimes, the disk is full because it has some rather big
temporary files (and I have a lot of mail).
It seems that we may have a softupdate-related (that's a guess from me)
problem because some of these temporaty files end up as unconnected to any
directory but link count is still one and they still takes space. The last
time fsck ran on the filesystem, it gave me back more than 60000 (!!)
fragments (cf the following:
-=-=-
Aug 23 12:21:38 caerdonn root: /dev/da0s1g: Reclaimed: 0 directories, 22 files, 60424
fragments
Aug 23 12:21:38 caerdonn root: /dev/da0s1g: 10295 files, 387087 used, 73408 free (1048
frags, 9045 blocks, 0.2% fragmentation)
-=-=-
lsof doesn't show them so they're not open by any process.
The mtime of the files are exactly when the glimpseindex command is run. We
know that SU has some issues when a filesystem is full but this is quite a
problem because as you can see below, I'm losing a lot of space till the
next reboot...
