Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if XFS has certain issues when dealing with a filesystem whose
usage is nearing its capacity. I ask because I have a partition that's using
XFS (of course) with a 32768b internal log and is mounted
with "rw,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8,biosize=16,osyncisdsync". Its size is
53.74GB total, and is currently at 80% usage (43.20GB used, 10.54GB free).
Total inodes used and free are not a problem in this case, though (only 1%
used). I will still need to use more space on the hard drive in the near
future, before I can delete some stuff and free up space.
I remember with ReiserFS before (I have absolutely no idea if this still exists
today) that there was a FAQ entry about a filesystem slowing down when it
reached something like 85% usage. I hope this isn't an issue with XFS, but
thought I'd ask anyway.
Also, I remember with XFS before (in the mailing list) that there was an issue
about inode allocation where if you delete a large file and then start filling
up the disk with a lot of smaller files you'll be wasting space. Or maybe vise
versa also. What's the current status of this? :)
Thanks a lot for the great filesystem guys! :)
--> Jijo
