There was a very large spike in trash at the end of Nov, beginning of Dec, Jan, and now Feb. It seems like theres a large customer (or multiple) that delete(s) a lot of data fairly regularly. Its just how they use it.
Almost 600GB in the trash across my 3 nodes right now. I think that’s the most I’ve seen yet. I will not complain though. That means it will be replaced with data more likely to be uploaded to customers.
I don’t think so…
Almost all deleted files are the size of 2,212,608B and only my oldest node is shrinking. I think storj is cleaning up the test data. It was bound to happen. I think they won’t do it all at once so that the node operators won’t be too disappointed with the shrinking nodes…
I also think they shouldn’t do it while I’m migrating my largest node. Right now I’m rsyncing 600GB of trash for no good reason, it will all be deleted in a few days…
That’s a good thing if the data is from a customer who don’t access the files regularly, because there will be free space for fresh data which hopefully will be downloaded more frequently
Overall, a question related to the topic,
in the latest version, pieces are copied or moved to the trash?
I feel that if copied, a lot of people have too little space left for trash and number of active nodes will drop.
