Not so healthy, from here. Data/metadata are healthy, yes, but... Any usage at all of global reserve is a red flag indicating that something in the filesystem thinks, or thought when it resorted to global reserve, that space is running out. Global reserve usage doesn't really hint what the problem is, but it's definitely a red flag that there /is/ a problem, and it's easily overlooked, as it apparently was here. It's likely indication of a bug, possibly one of the ones fixed right around 4.12/4.13. I'll let the devs and better experts take it from there, but I'd certainly be worried until global reserve drops to zero usage. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
