This is a bug from a while back. I suspect that if you do a drop caches
then the space will magically reappear. If you use a more recent kernel,
then this bug should also not occur.

What is happening is that the dcache on one machine has kept the inode
in cache even when another node has unlinked the inode because it hasn't
seen the link count hit zero. The fix in more recent kernels results in
the dentry for an unlinked inode being flushed cluster wide. Once the
final iput has occurred, then the space is released to the filesystem.

Steve.
 

I have check  recent  shortlog in (/pub/scm / linux/kernel/git/steve/gfs2-2.6-nmw.git / shortlog) ,
no find this bug changelog or  commit.

thanks!
