[Gluster-users] .glusterfs grown larger than volume content

[Vincent Huynh]

Hello,

We've noticed that the .glusterfs directory is larger than the contents of the volume. Our application only has access through the client so I don't suspect anything was deleted on the brick.

# du -sh .glusterfs
31G     .glusterfs/
# du -sh *
13G     dir1
31M     dir2

How could we have come into this state? Is there a way to find what is orphaned?

We tried looking for any references to deleted files but it didn't seem to yield much:
# find .glusterfs -links 1 -ls

We are running on a single node but when I added a second node and perform a full heal, the .glusterfs directory size is the same as the volume content size which is that we expected.

Version: glusterfs 3.7.3
OS: CentOS 5

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
