[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.10.5: used disk size reported by quota and du mismatch

Hi Hari,

good news for us! 

A few seconds ago, I submitted the gluster quota list command in order to save the current quota status.

[root at s01 auto]# gluster volume quota tier2 list /ASC
                  Path                   Hard-limit  Soft-limit      Used  Available  Soft-limit exceeded? Hard-limit exceeded?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/ASC                                      10.0TB     99%(9.9TB)    2.6TB   7.4TB              No                   No

In the same time, I was asking myself how I can stimulate a sort of directory “scan” in order to refresh the quota value without waiting for the automatic scan.
So, I decided to start a “du -hs /tier2/ASC” session (without specify each single brick path as I usually do after quota-fsck script execution).

[root at s01 auto]# du -hs /tier2/ASC
22G	/tier2/ASC

Now, magically, the quota value reflects the real disk space usage info provided by the “du” command.

[root at s01 auto]# gluster volume quota tier2 list /ASC
                  Path                   Hard-limit  Soft-limit      Used  Available  Soft-limit exceeded? Hard-limit exceeded?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/ASC                                      10.0TB     99%(9.9TB)   21.8GB  10.0TB              No                   No

Do you think that I was only lucky or is there a particular reason why everything is now working?

Thank you,
Mauro
