Hey guys,
I think i know what is going on.
A set of files was attempted to be deleted on a FS
that had almost consumed its reservation.
It failed because one or more snapshots hold
references to these files and the snaps needed
to allocate FS space. Thus, the no space error.
Now the stupid question..
If the snapshot is identical to the FS, I can't
remove files from the FS because of the snapshot
and removing files from the snapshot only removes
a reference to the file and leaves the memory.
So, how do I do a atomic file removes on both the
original and the snapshot(s). Yes, I am assuming that
I have backed up the file offline.
Can I request a possible RFE to be able to force a
file remove from the original FS and if found elsewhere
remove that location too IFF a ENOSPC would fail the
original rm?
Thanks,
Mitchell Erblich
