Hello All, I have been testing rebalance...migrate-data in GlusterFS version 3.2.3, following add-brick and fix-layout. After migrate-data the the volume is 97% full with some bricks being 100% full. I have not added any files to the volume so there should be an amount of free space at least as big as the new bricks that were added. However, it seems as if all the extra space has been taken up with files matching the pattern .*.gfs*. I presume these are temporary files used for the transfer real files, which should have been renamed once the transfers were completed and verified, and the original versions deleted. The new bricks contain mostly these temporary files, and zero byte link files pointing to the corresponding real files on other bricks. An example of such a pair is shown below. ---------T 1 root root 0 Sep 30 03:14 /mnt/local/glusterfs/root/backup/behemoth_system/bin/df -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60416 Sep 30 18:20 /mnt/local/glusterfs/root/backup/behemoth_system/bin/.df.gfs60416 Is this a known bug, and is there a work-around? If not, is it safe to delete the .*.gfs* files so I can at least use the volume? Regards Dan Bretherton
