Yes, I was trying to think of scenarios and I think you are close,
that is likely the reason. The hammer cleanup code is only scanning
mounted PFSs. I verified this by umounting my /var/crash (which is
a PFS) and running hammer cleanup. It didn't check /var/crash's
PFS.
So its not master/slave, it is simply whether the PFS is mounted or
not that is the problem.
This is definitely a bug. hammer cleanup needs to go through all
the PFSs. It would be a nice mini-programming-project for someone
who wants to fix it in the hammer utility.
Matt,
I'm against hammer cleanup running on unmounted PFSs by default. What
else than not mounting it could be a clearer statement like "don't mess
with this in any way, please"?
All other file system related things in the system don't mess with
unmounted file systems.
I suggest making this a periodic(8) option which the user can turn on if
it is wanted.
