bonienl Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Everything else reports the same high usage for disk 10. Please check if something has been written to the disk by verifying its contents. Quote Link to comment

bonienl Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The rule is 1 GB file system storage per 1 TB disk storage, e.g. 8TB disk = 8GB fs and 12TB disk = 12GB fs. There have been some updates to XFS in the kernel, but I don't know if this causes the high numbers you are seeing. Quote Link to comment

All 3 drive were all xfs encrypted when i was on 6.8.0-rc6. Formating now via 6.7.2 stable. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The Linux 5.x kernels are meant to have a lot of new features. I wonder if this has increased the overhead? Quote Link to comment
je82 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Now formated via 6.7.2 Stable and everything is normal. 1 minute ago, bonienl said: Please open a bug report under Prereleases Can i just put a link to this thread? I'm not sure how to technically explain the problem for LimeTech to give it time. Quote Link to comment

Vaggeto Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I've got 3 empty 8TB drives. 1 shows 8GB used as expected for the XFS filesystem. 2 others show 55.8GB used. I've checked via all methods I know of. SMB, Krusader, Linux command line, unbalanced tool. These disks are all empty but 2 are using an extra 47GB or so for the filesystem exactly as mentioned here in this thread. I did format some of these recently in RC 6.9 but I'm not sure exactly which ones. Any ideas on how I can free up this space? Edited November 9, 2020 by Vaggeto Quote Link to comment

Hmmm interesting. That's a big jump in usage for metadata. Do you know what additional functionality that brings? I see earlier in this thread that was thought to be a clear error.

I see earlier in this thread that was thought to be a clear error. Most part is likely for the new reflink support, could be others, don't really follow xfs development. Quote Link to comment
