Hi, is it true that a running node still does GC?
I am asking because when i restart the node i see storage coming down, probably GC runs at that time.
But if the node is running for many weeks, will it stil do periodic GC?
Thanks
When you restart a node, it checks for trash that is marked for deletion. Thats probably why you see storage usage spiraling down.

it’s initiated by the satellites, when your node receives a Bloom Filter, it would start the GC process until all filters wouldn’t be finished. So, interval depends on the satellites, not the node.
And I think that your actual used space is not reduced, did you check the usage on the disk?
If they do not match, your node is likely affected by the mentioned bug.
