[Gluster-users] Geo-replication /var/lib space question
Hello list, I have been running a geo-replication session for some time now, but at some point I noticed that the /var/lib/misc/gluster is eating up the storage on my root partition. I moved the folder away to another partition, but I don't seem to remember reading any specific space requirement for /var/lib and geo-replication. Did I miss it in the documentation? Also, does the space used in /var/lib/misc/gluster depend on the geo-replicated volume size? What exactly is stored there? (I'm guessing that's where gsyncd keeps track of the replicatation progress.) (I'm running gluster 6.6 on CentOS 7.7.) Thanks! -- alexander iliev
Hi Alexander, Yes that is geo-replication working directory and you can run the below command to get the location. gluster vol geo-rep <mastervol> <slavehost>::<slavevol> config working_dir This directory contains parsed changelogs from backend brick which are ready to be processed. After a batch is processed it will be automatically cleaned up for next batch processing. It does not depends on volume size but on config value " changelog-batch-size " the max size of changelogs to process per batch. /sunny On Mon, Feb 10, 2020 at 11:07 PM Alexander Iliev <ailiev+gluster at mamul.org> wrote:> > Hello list, > > I have been running a geo-replication session for some time now, but at > some point I noticed that the /var/lib/misc/gluster is eating up the > storage on my root partition. > > I moved the folder away to another partition, but I don't seem to > remember reading any specific space requirement for /var/lib and > geo-replication.
