Hello,
Today while freeing up some space on my OS disk I just discovered that there is a /var/lib/misc/glusterfsd directory which seems to save data related to geo-replication.
In particular there is a hidden sub-directory called ".processed" as you can see here:
/var/lib/misc/glusterfsd/woelkli-pro/ssh%3A%2F%2Froot%40192.168.0.10%3Agluster%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3Amyvolume-geo/6d844f56e12ecd14d2e36242f045e38c/.processed
which contains one archive file per month, example:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152494080 Apr 30 23:34 archive_201704.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43284480 May 31 23:35 archive_201705.tar
...
These tar files seem to save the CHANGELOG files of geo replication. Are these the same files as located in /data/myvolume/brick/.glusterfs/changelogs ?
As these file with the time take some space and are located on my OS disk I was wondering if I can safely remove all these processed file?
Is there maybe a way of telling GlusterFS to regularly delete these files?
Regards,
Mabi
