I've been watching mine do this for about two months now. I think it
started when I upgraded from RHEL 4.5 to 4.6. The app team only has
about 18 gig used on that 1.7TB drive but they create and delete allot
of files because that is the loading area they used when new data comes
in. In the last month I have seen it go up to 70 to 85% used but it
usually comes back down to about 50% within about 24 hours. Hopefully
they will find a fix for this soon. --- Jay Shawn Hood wrote: I actually just ran the reclaim on a live filesystem and it seems to be working okay now. Hopefully this isn't problematic, as a large number of operations in the GFS tool suite operate on mounted filesystems.

I found some details on this under an article on the open-shared root web site (http://www.open-sharedroot.org/faq/troubleshooting-guide/file-systems/gfs/file-system-full) and an article in Red Hat's knowledge base (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_78_10697.shtm). It seems to be a bug in the reclaim of metadata blocks when an inode is released. I saw a patch (bz298931) released for this in the 2.99.10 cluster release notes but it was reverted (bz298931) a few days after it was submitted. The only suggestion that I have gotten back from Red Hat is to shutdown the app so the GFS drives are not being accessed and then run the "gfs_tool reclaim <mount point>" command.
