[Moosefs-users] Strange situation

[Florent B. <fl...@co...>]

Hi everyone,

In a test cluster, composed of 1 mfsmaster and 2 chunkservers, I have 
413773 files in 412858 chunks.
First, it is strange to have less chunks than files, but maybe it's 
because there are some empty files (I suppose).

All files are goal=3 (but I have 2 chunkservers, so all chunks are 
under-goal, no problem!), and there is 412858 on both servers.

What is very strange, is that those 412858 chunks are 16 GiB sized on 
the first server and 22 GiB sized on the second.
Both are ext4 file systems, Ubuntu Desktop and Server 11.04. I verified 
with "du -sh" and the size are the same as showed by mfscgi server.

All servers are 1.6.20 and "Filesystem check info" shows nothing special.

All files where copied once, and not modified then (not a versioning 
problem).

A few days ago, I added a third chunkserver. Some chunks where copied on 
it, but all files where not goal=3 yet (I deleted it before).

How can you explain that situation ? Is that "normal" ?

If you need other information, let me know!

Thank you a lot
