Description of problem: Geo-replication does not delete old "CHANGELOG" files that are generated every 60 seconds at .glusterfs/changelogs subdirectory on all bricks from master and slave volumes. In a month the files consume significant space and the old ones are not used anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy geo-replication. 2. Do "ls -l " for subdir ".glusterfs/changelogs/" on any brick from master or slave volume. 3. You have to see files created every 60 seconds starting moment when geo-replication was deployed the first time. Actual results: Expected results: the old files have to be deleted automatically. Additional info:
In the latest release of Gluster(3.7), Changelogs are generated only when there are some changes. Generation of Empty Changelogs disabled. Do we need this enhancement to be backported to 3.5.x? We can close this bug if enhancement not required for 3.5.x.
Aravinda, I'm using 3.6.X and 3.7.X now. So it's OK not to backport fix to 3.5.X. Thanks!
BZ 1208470 fixes this issue by not generating Changelogs in Gluster 3.7. Closing this bug based on Comment 2. Please reopen if required again in 3.5.x version. Thanks.
