Description of problem: It seems like over the time some users are able to accumulate huge amount of file in archive subdirectory - which not just eats space on disk, but also slows down directory scanning. lvm2 should probably detect unreasonable amount of such files and warn users about performance degradation if they keep that many files there. It likely doesn't fit our current backup{} options what to do with obsoleted VGs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.02.103 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. create and remove different VGs and LVs 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Mostly solved with commit - 5ea426e65628218569ede461312d80ba5d1c50fb and we follow-up commits - present from lvm2 release >= 2.03.15 We check and print message if the size of 'archive' dir is getting too big or if there are too many files present in this directory.
