Was the file system created using the reg40 plugin or ccreg40 for on the fly compression? It seems to me I had this issue when using ccreg40 for on the fly compression. I wrote a similar request for help some years ago and I believe the answer was to not use compression. IIRC it's not an issue with the compression itself rather the handling of allocated space for it and the shuffling that is done when releasing resources. I was unable to quickly find my old email to the list to confirm :( On 07/27/2016 11:51 AM, Georgios Tsalikis wrote: > It is almost always like this.
