Yes, the 2-3 weeks keeping the garbage was not planned. There were several issues, many of them should be fixed at the moment or in the rolling release.
We now sending a bigger BF, so they should reach the target of 10%
I see only one problem at the moment some kind of related to the garbage, that it’s hard to check by SNO right now because of issue with gaps in reports from the satellites (Avg disk space used dropped with 60-70%). All existing checks are based on comparing that data with the usage reported by the node (or even by the OS).
The second problem that the many nodes started to have issues with “database is locked” recently and not updated usage in the databases as a result. It’s not a bug, but we need to implement some improvements here.
The third problem - some nodes also have filewalkers failures because of timeouts from the disks, and this again did not update the usage in the databases. It’s not a bug, but we need to implement some improvements here.
