Hi All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I was under the (possibly false) impression that if you have a filesystem where the system pool contains metadata only then the only thing that would cause the amount of free space in that pool to change is the creation of more inodes … is that
correct? In other words, given that I have a filesystem with 130 million free (but allocated) inodes:<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">Inode Information</div>
<div class="">-----------------</div>
<div class="">Number of used inodes: 218635454</div>
<div class="">Number of free inodes: 131364674</div>
<div class="">Number of allocated inodes: 350000128</div>
<div class="">Maximum number of inodes: 350000128</div>
</div>
<br class="">
I would not expect that a user creating a few hundred or thousands of files could cause a “no space left on device” error (which I’ve got one user getting). There’s plenty of free data space, BTW.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now my system pool is almost “full”:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">(pool total) 2.878T 34M ( 0%) 140.9M ( 0%)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But again, what - outside of me creating more inodes - would cause that to change??</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks…</div>
