Basically our POS application writes a bunch of audit information to
disk after what we call a terminal reading, which is done to every
operational POS terminal at the end of a selling day. The store
personnel incorrectly turn off the machine after this terminal reading
is over instead of correctly shutting it down. This is done everyday. It
takes a few months for the single filesystem (per terminal) to finally
hit 100% usage.
I'll send the list more information -- average file size, exact usage
drop after rescue mount, exact messages of xfs_repair -- as soon as I
can.
