Raised it on bugzilla:

I'll keep track of it.

Thanks,

The secondary node (passive replica) collects changelogs in ".processing" as the primary node (first replica) performs the synchronization. On a replica failover, the passive replica (now active) starts where the primary left. This _overload_ of changelog backlog in the passive node is the cause of inode fill up (In primary, changelog are moved to ".processed" which would still fill up inodes, but I guess you purge them periodically now).

I guess you'd need to purge changlogs from ".processing" in the secondary node, but the correct thing to do is to perform this automatically in geo-replication. Could you raise a bug for this?

Hi, Incurred in this problem again. After purging the .processed everything went ok for a while. But now the .processing directory is filling up which is going to bring to the same issue.

After some further investigation I found that this is happening only on the secondary node, the primary one cleans up everything from the .processing as soon as the file gets synced.

Thanks,

It's safe to purge everything under .processed. That what geo-rep had already replicated, so it's OK to delete it.

Also, consider purging these entries periodically as geo-rep doesn't purge them on it's own (at least for now).
