Hi all, I have tried MogileFS for a while, and did the following things: 1. add a domain and a class in that domain, with mindevcount=3 (make 3 replications); 2. insert a new file into MogileFS, and I saw there are 3 storage nodes (node A,B,C) contained that file according to 'mogadm stats'; 3. manually mark one of those nodes (node A) to be down, and try to retrieve that file: file retrieved normally, and a new replication is made up on another node (node D) as expected; 4. manually mark the previous down node alive, and delete the file.
Here comes the problem: after the file has been deleted, there are no contents in node B,C and D, but still left one copy of the file in node A (can be seen through 'mogadm stats'). That copy could not be accessed anymore, but do occupied the storage spaces. Even though I tried to clean up the whole storage directory on node A, the mogadm file statistics remain unchanged. With a long running systems and lots of files, this phenomenon will be very annoying. So is there any formal method to clean up all of these dangling files in a MogileFS system? Thanks! -Chaos
