I will run more test to see what else I can find. It still seams odd that postmark started working also. thanks Matt On Mon, 2005-08-29 at 15:17, AJ Lewis wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE>On Mon, Aug 29, 2005 at 03:06:19PM -0600, Matthew B.

The way GFS works is that any metadata that is deleted is actually converted to unused metadata blocks for later reuse instead of being freed completely. The way the fsck tracks block use, it ends up converting all these blocks back to free blocks. So basically this is what a normal fsck looks like when run on a gfs filesystem that had lots of files deleted. > Output from gfs_fsck: > > [root@illusion root]# gfs_fsck -y /dev/pool/u_as > Initializing fsck</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
