<div><br></div><div>The .glusterfs directory should be approximately the same size as the volume content, as it is just hard links. You may have some issue there if you're seeing a huge discrepancy. It might be worth trying something like</div>
<div><br></div><div>find .glusterfs -type f -links 1</div><div><br></div><div>on each brick to see if you have any DHT linkfiles pointing to files which have been removed on the brick(s).</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">
