Help me understand what is going on with my RAID1 FS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I have a BTRFS RAID1 volume running for the past year. I avoided all
pitfalls known to me that would mess up this volume. I never
experimented with quotas, no-COW, snapshots, defrag, nothing really.
The volume is a RAID1 from day 1 and is working reliably until now.

Until yesterday it consisted of two 3 TB drives, something along the lines:

Label: 'BigVault'  uuid: a37ad5f5-a21b-41c7-970b-13b6c4db33db
        Total devices 2 FS bytes used 2.47TiB
        devid    1 size 2.73TiB used 2.47TiB path /dev/sdb
        devid    2 size 2.73TiB used 2.47TiB path /dev/sdc

Yesterday I've added a new drive to the FS and did a full rebalance
(without filters) over night, which went through without any issues.

Now I have:
 Label: 'BigVault'  uuid: a37ad5f5-a21b-41c7-970b-13b6c4db33db
        Total devices 3 FS bytes used 2.47TiB
        devid    1 size 2.73TiB used 1.24TiB path /dev/sdb
        devid    2 size 2.73TiB used 1.24TiB path /dev/sdc
        devid    3 size 7.28TiB used 2.48TiB path /dev/sda

# btrfs fi df /mnt/BigVault/
Data, RAID1: total=2.47TiB, used=2.47TiB
System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=384.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=4.00GiB, used=2.74GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B

But still df -h is giving me:
Filesystem           Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb             6.4T  2.5T  1.5T  63% /mnt/BigVault

Although I've heard and read about the difficulty in reporting free
space due to the flexibility of BTRFS, snapshots and subvolumes, etc.,
but I only have a single volume, no subvolumes, no snapshots, no
quotas and both data and metadata are RAID1.

My expectation would've been that in case of BigVault Size == Used + Avail.

Actually based on http://carfax.org.uk/btrfs-usage/index.html I
would've expected 6 TB of usable space. Here I get 6.4 which is odd,
but that only 1.5 TB is available is even stranger.

Could anyone explain what I did wrong or why my expectations are wrong?

Thank you in advance
