After shrinking the FullMaxAge there were two days of backuppc
"deletation", but only 3% free space gain while "Prior to pooling and
compression" size decreased significantly, real space remained occupied.
There are now no V3 backups left as per
grep version /var/lib/backuppc/pc/*/*/backupInfo
5 days later, some 40GB are removed from "cpool4". I am still confused how
this works. At least the disk is not "full" now and backups are performed
as should, but there remains a big discrepancy between df/du reports and
backuppc (762GB vs 388GB). If it is occuied by v4 or v3 (undeleted?)
backups is not obvious to me and I am not sure how to find if there are
any orpahned files. I also did fsck - no issues.

This is from memory so take it for what it's worth...
The V3 pools are not converted to V4, over time the V3 backups expire based
on your retention settings, so it looks like in your case having both is
taking up more room than you have.
As far as what to do about that other than potentially adding more disk
space temporarily I'm not sure there are a lot of good options.
Hm the cpool is 736GB by "df". Interesting enought I found the Schedule setup
is to do every 14 day a full backup and store 12 full backups, but FullMaxAge
is set to 365 days. Now there is 25 full backups oldest 365 days old - it
looks like the V3 backups are only expiring at FullMaxAge but are not counted
as regular full backups.. I tried to lower the FullMaxAge, let's see what
nigthly does. Thanks for the hint.
Thanks,
Richard
