The_Athereon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The bottom 4 drives are recent additions to my 2nd server. Question. Why am I missing almost 150GB of data across them? I realise that XFS uses about 1GB of data per TB for it own overhead but 56GB on a 8TB drive seems a bit high. All drives are empty.. Just wondering what's happening. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I can't find where it was discussed with a quick search, but the upshot is that XFS is reserving more space than was previously used for advanced file system features and recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Yes, it's normal, mostly because xfs now supports reflinking. Quote Link to comment
