Isilon used space issue (new-ish-user)
posted by Julian Firminger on Oct. 21, 2014, 7:45 a.m.
I have an SR open with EMC but thought Id open this up for a sanity check in case I'm missing something obvious.

I have conflicting data on data usage on our cluster. Basically Im missing 150TB.

du sSHk returns the files size of the primary share at ~200TB (this constitutes 99% of the data)
InsightIQs FileSystem Performance Usage reporting reports the same number

but

isi status returns 350TB used.
InsightIQs dashboard reports the same used space.

So am I missing something mental here? Does du / InsightIQ FS perf not factor in the protection copies? Anyone else seen this behavior before?

Another twist is, a block of about 100TB was deleted (from the cli using rm, not using tree delete) and we never saw that space returned. Prompting an operator to ask "does the Isilon have a trash can...". But i digress.

Thanks in advance.
