Dave,
Check out Joe Julian's excellent explanation at http://joejulian.name/blog/what-is-this-new-glusterfs-directory-in-33/ .
The .glusterfs directory should be approximately the same size as the volume content, as it is just hard links. You may have some issue there if you're seeing a huge discrepancy. It might be worth trying something like
find .glusterfs -type f -links 1
on each brick to see if you have any DHT linkfiles pointing to files which have been removed on the brick(s).

Hi All,This is probably a simple question, but I have been unable to find any official documentation on it yet: what exactly does the .glusterfs directory do, and what controls how much disk space it uses?I am using 3.3 in my environment and the .glusterfs directory has grown to 93GB, whereas the actual directory content is under 2GB total. I got these disk usage stats using 'du'. Does this sound right?Thanks in advance,Dave
