Subject: Global reserve ran out of space at 512MB, fails to rebalance
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 01:52:19 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.21.2012100149160.15698@pop.dreamhost.com> (raw)

Hello all,

We have a 30TB volume with lots of snapshots that is low on space and we 
are trying to rebalance.  Even if we don't rebalance, the space cleaner 
still fills up the Global reserve:

    Device size:                  30.00TiB
    Device allocated:             30.00TiB
    Device unallocated:            1.00GiB
    Device missing:                  0.00B
    Used:                         29.27TiB
    Free (estimated):            705.21GiB	(min: 704.71GiB)
    Data ratio:                       1.00
    Metadata ratio:                   2.00
>>> Global reserve:              512.00MiB	(used: 512.00MiB) <<<<<<<

This was on a Linux 5.6 kernel.  I'm trying a Linux 5.9.13 kernel with a 
hacked in SZ_4G in place of the SZ_512MB and will report back when I learn 
more.

In the meantime, do you have any suggestions to work through the issue?

Thank you for your help!
