Hi all, I've got an interesting (I think) thing happening with my storage pool (tank, 8x1.5TB RAID-Z2)...namely that I seem to gain free-space without deleting files. I noticed this happening awhile ago, so I set up a cron script that ran every night and does:
pfexec ls -alR /tank > /export/home/movax/fslog/`date +%F`.contents pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs list > /export/home/movax/fslog/`date +%F`.zfs so I could see if files are disappearing. Well, between 10/14 and 10/15, I went from: tank 8.02T 1.64G 44.1M /tank to: tank 8.01T 14.1G 44.1M /tank The only file changes that showed up in a diff are two file modification date display changes (Apr 17 23:13 to Apr 17 2010, whatever no big deal), both to Thumbs.db. So, there doesn't *seem* to be any data loss (this is my personal fileserver, all other users have read-only access)...and I don't recall a ZFS garbage-collect or similar mechanism. Here are the options set on tank: NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE tank type filesystem - tank creation Tue Feb 24 4:20 2009 - tank used 8.01T - tank available 14.1G - tank referenced 44.1M - tank compressratio 1.00x - tank mounted yes - tank quota none default tank reservation none default tank recordsize 128K default tank mountpoint /tank default tank sharenfs off default tank checksum on default tank compression off default tank atime on default tank devices on default tank exec on default tank setuid on default tank readonly off default tank zoned off default tank snapdir hidden local tank aclmode groupmask default tank aclinherit restricted local tank canmount on default tank shareiscsi off default tank xattr on default tank copies 1 default tank version 4 - tank utf8only off - tank normalization none - tank casesensitivity sensitive - tank vscan off default tank nbmand off default tank sharesmb off local tank refquota none default tank refreservation none default tank primarycache all default tank secondarycache all default tank usedbysnapshots 87.5K - tank usedbydataset 44.1M - tank usedbychildren 8.01T - tank usedbyrefreservation 0 - tank logbias latency default tank dedup off local tank mlslabel none default tank com.sun:auto-snapshot true local I don't utilize snapshots (this machine just stores media)...so what could be up? -- --khd _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
