GFS2 not releasing disk space?

"Ernie Graeler" <egraeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Tue, 1 Jul 2008 09:51:21 -0400

All,

I’m new to this list, so I’m not sure if any one
else has encountered this problem.  Also, this is my first post so forgive me
if I do something incorrect. J   I’ve
created a cluster using 2 nodes and created a shared file system between them
using gfs2.   So far, the set up seemed to go well, and I can see the file
system, and can write to it and copy files to it with no problem from either
node.   However, when I delete or remove files and directories from the gfs2
file system, the files and directories go away, but the file system does not
reclaim the space from the deleted files.  Is there a tunable parameter that
handles this?  Or did I miss something in the configuration?  Has any one else
encountered this situation?   If I restart the cluster, the space comes back,
but I don’t want to have to restart the cluster every time I delete data
in order to reclaim the space.  I’m running gfs2 on CentOS 5.1 X64.  I
did a google search but came up dry.

Thanks!

Ernie
