Cluster Size

Hello,

I have deleted around 5 to 7 TB of files on Isilon cluster, but the available space is not getting reflected on the usage/available report.

Is there any additional steps, I need to do apart from files deletion to reflect the available space.

Thank you for your inputs.

Nope, We don't have any snapshots to the directory we are deleting and above the hierarchy.

beware of snapshots taken by the system for special purposes like SyncIQ, NDMP, InsightIQ-FSA...

other possibilities:

- files are still open, wait for applications to close

- files have hard links in other hierarchy (ls -l shows two or more links /before/ deleting)

- file blocks are in OneFS shadow store after deduplication or cloning

Guys,

I thought there is a job that has to run clean up after a large deletion?  I am not saying that 5 - 7TB is large but just saying.

hi khkris,

  • Which version of OneFS?
  • Also what exactly is this "usage/available report" that you are looking at?  Is it the InsightIQ FSA report or OneFS's administration page?
  • Also for verification, is the SnapshotIQ management screen reporting any existing snapshot usage?

Thanks.
