GC into old trash date folder?

[Alexey]

@jammerdan

Well if I restart the node now, my guess would be that it would resume the GC but that the node would then create a new trash date folder with date of today as 2024-09-13

exactly. At least it’s happened with my node that date.

@jammerdan

So normally it should start immediately to delete the date folder 2024-08-29 and deletion of the date folder

Yes, it will do, see

When will "Uncollected Garbage" be deleted?

September is about garbage collection for me, 11 days of trying to solve my 13.5TB node. In the last few days, I’ve been trying to speed things up because the load has cut my expected money in half. Now I’m trying to reduce the shared space in the config. The question is, how normal is it that the used-space-filewalker, retain and piece:trash processes run concurrently on that satellite?

@jammerdan

I wonder if this maybe could have something to do with expired pieces that had not been collected?

more likely it’s related to a very slow process of the garbage collection on that node.
