Hi David, Is this Volume is uses Geo-replication? Geo-replication feature enables Changelog to identify the latest changes happening in the GlusterFS volume.
Content of .glusterfs directory also includes hardlinks to the actual data, so the size shown in .glusterfs is including data. Please refer the comment by Xavi https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/833#issuecomment-594436009 <https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/833#issuecomment-594436009> If Changelogs files are causing issue, you can use archival tool to remove processed changelogs. https://github.com/aravindavk/archive_gluster_changelogs <https://github.com/aravindavk/archive_gluster_changelogs> — regards Aravinda Vishwanathapura https://kadalu.io > On 05-Mar-2020, at 9:02 AM, David Cunningham <dcunning...@voisonics.com> > wrote: > > Hello, > > We are looking for some advice on disk use.
