Hello guys, as you have already probably read there will be a migration to Hashstore soon. I have some old (2023) and new (2025-August) nodes running and compare the state between them. For Hashstore to work well it’s time to clean-up especially the old nodes. Here are my questions regarding the …

Both can be in any state or commented out to have their defaults. [image] Walter1: I also see so much trash unfortunately. What do you call trash? The value on the dashboard or the folder on the disk? Could you please compare the size of the trash folder with the value on the dashboard?

The trash on the dashboard. Am checking now the used folders on the disk with du -h --max-depth=1 but it takes some time…will come back soon.

[image] Walter1: The trash on the dashboard. Am checking now the used folders on the disk with du -h --max-depth=1 Remember that after migration, trash is not stored in the trash folder, but part of the hashstore files. So counting that path will likely just give you part of the complete use…

So the folder trash would also not be needed anymore. Do you know if piece_expirations is still being used? It should also be obsolete, or?

[image] Walter1: Do you know if piece_expirations is still being used? I assume it would become obsolete once migration is completed. It’s handled by hashstore grouping similar expiration date together.

Another one who noticed that can be investigated: [image] Overuse of Node on hashstore upgrade Node Operators As you can see, my node is saying it’s overused. However that’s is not true. This is a 4TB drive and there is still a TB free. I recently set in motio…

This new hashstore is super great. I feel it from the beginning at the first spot. You can even track the active migration success by typing " du -h --max-depth=1 /mnt/STORJ-1/storage/hashstore/" and then it is counting the files. [grafik] Now I switched all my nodes to passive hashstore. Some a…

Nice, practice tipp for the migration. Don’t delete the blobs-folder, just the content of it. There will be an error message as of now: [grafik] But the solution is also easy, just manually recreate the blobs folder in node/storage.
