[Ocfs2-users] A free space trouble in a ocfs2 partition

[Sunil Mushran]

ocfs2 and kernel version?

My guess is that this is because the orphaned inodes are not
getting deleted. This problem has been fixed in the mainline kernel
(2.6.31).

For enterprise users, the fix was provided with OCFS2 1.4.4 for
(RH)EL. SLES10/11 users should upgrade to the latest kernel errata
to get the fix.

If you are using an older mainline kernel, a temporary fix would be
to umount the volume on all nodes and run "fsck.ocfs2 -f device".
Upgrading the kernel to 2.6.31 will also fix the problem.
