I'm running xfs on a software raid5 array, the kernel version is:
SGI XFS snapshot-2.4.23-2003-12-01_00:33_UTC with ACLs, no debug enabled
And here is a taste of what I'm seeing:
df -k .:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 360138240 356276448 3861792 99% /storage
dd if=/dev/zero of=tst bs=1000000 count=300
df -k .:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 360138240 356327136 3811104 99% /storage
rm -f tst:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 360138240 355983080 4155160 99% /storage
So I had some space free, making a 300,000,000 byte file only consumed about
5,000k, and then deleting it freed up more space than I had to start with?
This is consistantly occuring. A week or so back, it inexplicably went from
~2GB free to full instantaneously. I didn't believe the person was keeping
good track of it and just filled it up, so I did this a few times and if this
is happening, I now believe that what the person said is true.
Why is the free space not decreasing on creation of new files, yet increasing
on deletion?
