nilfs2 not garbage collecting

nilfs2 not garbage collecting

[Paolo Giangrandi]

Hello,

I'm using NILFS2 as the root filesystem of an ArchLinux on my EeePC
900A. The filesystem has been created last November.
At the moment there's no more space left, `lscp` shows that there are
2648 checkpoints, but nilfs_cleanerd is in idle.
I tried to tweak nilfs_cleanerd configuration, but couldn't achieve anything.

Is it possible to know why nilfs_cleanerd isn't collecting the
checkpoints, or force it to collect them?

Thanks,
Paolo

Could you share more details about your issue?

It is interested to know:
1. mount output.
2. nilfs_cleanerd configuration.
3. system log content related to NILFS2 or nilfs_cleanerd.
4. ps ax output.
5. cat /proc/partitions.
6. df -h

I think that these info can be starting point for analysis of your issue.

With the best regards,

Hi Paolo,

By the way, did you try to use the rmcp utility? This utility is dedicated by removing of checkpoints by hands.

I think that you can convert some important checkpoints into snapshots, firstly. It can be more safely. As I can understand, rmcp doesn't delete snapshots by default.

Moreover, you can delete some very old checkpoints and try to use file system, firstly. Checkpoints duplicate information usually and deleting of some old checkpoints don't be a dangerous action. Anyway, be careful, if you have some hesitations then it make sense to backup important information before any activity.

Could you share full output of mount utility? I feel that I haven't full
picture without this output.

Moreover, it needs to more details about nilfs_cleanerd activity. Could
you try to kill started by default nilfs_cleanerd and try to start
nilfs_cleanerd manually with strace utility? Then it will be very
interesting to see output of strace. 

With the best regards,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.

Iirc there was some issue with nilfs_cleanerd and timeshifting (and
here we have cp 305344 10 years before 305343). But I think it was
solved, so maybe you have (old)  nilfs-utils without the patch?

I'm not sure. I'm using nilfs tools as provided by ArchLinux package
nilfs-utils-2.1.4-1:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/nilfs-utils/
That package provides nilfs_cleanerd, mount.nilfs2 and the other
nilfs-related tools.
The nilfs kernel module
(/usr/lib/modules/3.4.7-1-ARCH/kernel/fs/nilfs2/nilfs2.ko.gz) is
instead provided by linux 3.4.7-1 package:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/linux/

These packages seems up to date. They don't seem to apply any patch though.

Anyway I've always had this issue with the system date (since before
creating the filesystem): the date gets set by NTP as soon as the
system connects to internet, and this didn't ever cause any trouble to
the filesystem.

`mount` is quite quiet:
# mount -v /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
mount.nilfs2: started nilfs_cleanerd

About strace:
# nilfs-clean -q
# strace -o nilfs_cleanerd.strace nilfs_cleanerd -n /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
The content of nilfs_cleanerd.strace is now:

Tomorrow I'll backup the content of that filesystem and will try to
manually remove some checkpoints.

In case you need it, I could create a snapshot of the whole filesystem
and share it.

Re: nilfs2 not garbage collecting

[Vyacheslav Dubeyko]

Hi Paolo,

I can't see any strange or suspicious in your traces. As I can
understand, nilfs_cleanerd is working with proper volume. If you have
freshly updated system then you have actual state of nilfs-utils (maybe
without one commit which is not important for the issue).

I think that maybe date of some checkpoints (and the sequence) on your
file system can confuse nilfs-cleanerd. This supposition needs in more
detailed investigation.

So, could you share information about nilfs-cleanerd's behavior after
manual checkpoints deletion?

With the best regards,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.

Re: nilfs2 not garbage collecting

[Paolo Giangrandi]

After creating an image of the filesystem, I erased all of the
checkpoints (`rmcp ..305356`, it worked, as confirmed by `lscp`).
nilfs_cleanerd (run with ArchLinux default options) didn't release any
space until I ran `nilfs-clean -p0`. At that point these lines got
appended to the log files:

and a few kilobytes got free'd:
# df | grep sda2
/dev/sda2                          7839740 7397372     49152 100% /mnt

Now nilfs_cleanerd seems unable again to free more space.
Should I try anything else, before recreating the filesystem?
If you are interested into it, I can share the 7.5GB raw filesystem image.

Yes, please share your file system image. It can be more efficient way to investigate the issue on the image.

Re: nilfs2 not garbage collecting

[Paolo Giangrandi]

I'm having some issues at uploading the compressed image (it's "just"
2.3GB, but with my current connection it would take days, I'll upload
it on september).

Meanwhile nilfs_cleanerd managed to free some more space (over 1GB),
although nothing has changed since yesterday, thus everything seems
back to normality.
Thanks for the help and see you in september!

when i'm in a pinch and want cleanerd to free up some space, i run:
# while true; do killall -HUP nilfs_cleanerd; sleep 4; done

each `HUP' signal causes cleanerd to both re-read config and run single pass.

i then monitor progress with
# iostat -dk 1 /dev/sda

to see if it is moving data around. if not, i lower `protection_period' in 
/etc/nilfs_cleanerd.conf; I usually have it set to 7 to 14 days on personal 
computers, but when /really/ in a squeeze for free space, i lower it to 24h.

you may also want to increase `nsegments_per_clean' in nilfs_cleanerd.conf to 
3 (but not much more; each segment causes up to 8MB of read and write upon 
each cleanerd pass).


cheers,

Note, you can do all of this using the nilfs-clean command, which will instruct
nilfs_cleanerd to do one pass of cleaning. I mostly use:

 nilfs-clean -p <prot>		# Override the protection period in nilfs_cleanerd.conf
 nilfs-clean -S <segs>/<secs>	# Clean <segs> segments every <secs> seconds.

I also found the following useful when examining checkpoint usage:

 lscp | grep -C2 ad

The grep captures the active segments at the head of the log, and provides
2 lines of context either side.
