Christopher L. Shannon commented on AMQ-6590: --------------------------------------------- [~gtully], Can you do a quick sanity check on this? I believe this is the correct fix. > KahaDB index loses track of free pages on unclean shutdown > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-6590 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6590 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Broker > Affects Versions: 5.14.3 > Reporter: Christopher L. Shannon > Assignee: Christopher L. Shannon > Fix For: 5.15.0, 5.14.4 > > > I have discovered an issue with the KahaDB index recovery after an unclean > shutdown (OOM error, kill -9, etc) that leads to excessive disk space usage. > Normally on clean shutdown the index stores the known set of free pages to > db.free and reads that in on start up to know which pages can be re-used. On > an unclean shutdown this is not written to disk so on start up the index is > supposed to scan the page file to figure out all of the free pages. > Unfortunately it turns out that this scan of the page file is being done > before the total page count value has been set so when the iterator is > created it always thinks there are 0 pages to scan. > The end result is that every time an unclean shutdown occurs all known free > pages are lost and no longer tracked. This of course means new free pages > have to be allocated and all of the existing space is now lost which will > lead to excessive index file growth over time. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
