Funny thing: name of trash folder is not corresponding the actual (and correct as i understand) time of collection (especially on big nodes 10tb+) [image] as u can see 2024-04-13 was last modified on 15-04-2024 and 2024-04-21 on 22-04-2024 so what is the correct time when we should start counting…

The name of the folder should have been the day or date when it is going to be deleted.

Seems like it’s just based on the date of the name of the folder: storj/storagenode/blobstore/filestore/dir.go at 8d6eed6169659aee3388ee68cbff6b1cb4a69c54 · storj/storj · GitHub What’s the size of that 2024-04-13 folder? Maybe you can check your logs for the daily trash and see what occurred. Ther…

[image] Ambifacient: The delete day should just be the labelled folder + 7 days. That’s what it is now. But it could be changed any time and different for every satellite I guess. So to check if it is working properly, it would have been much easier, if the name of the folder would have been…

The deletion period is hardcoded to 7 days: storj/storagenode/peer.go at 8d6eed6169659aee3388ee68cbff6b1cb4a69c54 · storj/storj · GitHub Either way it’s not a big deal.

[image] Ambifacient: The deletion period is hardcoded to 7 days Great, thanks. So at least it would be the same for all satellites. However this is also a bit of a strange decision. Wasn’t the idea of the trash to be able to roll back in case something goes wrong on the satellite side? To h…

They said that sometime ago, a bug was introduced in the code, that deleted wrong pieces, and they could recover them from trash. Imagine if there was no trash.

[image] vladro: as u can see 2024-04-13 was last modified on 15-04-2024 and 2024-04-21 on 22-04-2024 The directory name reflects the day when the bloom filter was received. It seems that it took your node around two days to process the bloom filter. Whether it took your node few seconds, or …

[image] Toyoo: you can flexibly change the trash expiration period after garbage collection Do you mean by changing the hardcoded 7 day value in the storagenode code to a different value? Or is there another way?

[image] Toyoo: The directory name reflects the day when the bloom filter was received. Now that confuses me. Don’t we have a bloom filter roughly only once per week? What about the other deletions then?

[image] jammerdan: Do you mean by changing the hardcoded 7 day value in the storagenode code to a different value? Or is there another way? Yeah, in case Storj decides 7 days is a bad value, they can release a new binary to change it. [image] jammerdan: Don’t we have a bloom filter roug…
