FYI: xfs_freeze/thaw doesn't sync free space w/df output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sorry for repost, but when I went to look at my email I found the original
buried several pages
down in a response, and guessing that many or most people probably use threaded
readers now,
they'd be unlikely to see this...

FWIW, 3 hours later, still hasn't sync'd automatically.

Shouldn't that be a bug?

	It doesn't work at al.

.... I've deleted off 2.4T from an 11T volume in about 15 files.
du reflects the actions:

Ishtar:/backups> du -sxh /backups/
9.6T    /backups/
Ishtar:/backups> df .

df does not:

/dev/mapper/Backups-Backups   11T   11T   14G 100% /backups

Any stats you want to debug this?

--- reality check -- swidth DOES mean total width, right?  i.e. 768/128 = 6
disks wide which is a
correct number of data disks in the array.

BTW, I'm wondering if my alignment is important or correct on it:
parted -l on the volume shows:

---------------

Also I don't understand.  does irix_sgid_inherit mean something other than
directories created in a dir with the sgid bit set also get it set with the
same group ownership?

As I just tested it .. made a dir set the group & chmod g+s.. made a dir in
it, and it got created w/same group and w/sgid bit set.
But looking at the above, I'd think the sgid bit wasn't supposed to
be inherited...(I can go look it up, but just looked strange).

In the ~54 minutes it took to write this:
> df /backups
Filesystem                   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Backups-Backups   11T   11T   14G 100% /backups
