Running 2.12.3.  It doesn’t really look like that Jira issue.  

So I just remounted and it forced a changelog cleanup (a deregister was 
interrupted by an MDS crash).  So that cleaned up some 20% of the total 
capacity of the MDT (good news) but looking at the lctl outputs, the 
changelog_size is growing with no changelogs defined:

[root@io011 ~]# lctl get_param mdd.brc-MDT0000.changelog_users; lctl get_param 
mdd.brc-MDT0000.changelog_size; sleep 10; lctl get_param 
mdd.brc-MDT0000.changelog_size
mdd.brc-MDT0000.changelog_users=
current index: 2032979833
ID    index (idle seconds)
mdd.brc-MDT0000.changelog_size=830310440
mdd.brc-MDT0000.changelog_size=851034456
[root@io011 ~]#

Also, even now cleaned, the file system with 563,353,202 inodes is using 930GB, 
that strikes me as a bit strange.
So even with the changelog users cleared, I suspect I’ll be back to capacity 
issues in another 7 days or so.
