Isilon OneFS v8.1.2: Storage 98% Used. Unable to delete files
I have a OneFS v8.1.2 that we use for user file shares and it is @ 98% capacity.
Results:
- Unable to delete data via smb shares: the system is read-only at this point. but...
-
SpoilerThe file system continues to grow in spite of running "clean up" processes belowThe file system continues to grow in spite of running "clean up" processes below
The following Processes are underway:
- Disabled snapshot service
- SnapshotDelete Job: Currently running to remove unneeded snapshots
- TreeDelete Job: Currently running to remove unneeded files
- Collect Job: Currently running to reclaim space.
The Snapshot and TreeDelete jobs above have been running for two days now, and the space utilization just keeps going up. Short of starting over, is there anything else that can be done to recover space?

Hi,
The best option is to call phone support, they may be able to get it to allow you to free some space.

Thanks Josh. Unfortunately, this is one of our older systems and is out of support. We're in the process of migrating off this hardware but were a few months away from completing the project. So, I was hoping to hear the experiences of those who have been down this road.
