GLaDERMorning fellas, I am looking to migrate from FreeNAS 9.10.2-U4 to Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS. Is anything more required than simply installing Ubuntu Server on a disk and import my already existing pools?06:46
lordievaderGood morning08:34
ren0v0hi, my server is reporting 99% disk space used with "df-h". However i can't find any large files09:53
ren0v0i've run "du -sch .[!.]* * |sort -h" and it says total is 23/60GB ... ?09:53
lordievaderDid you remove any log files lately?09:55
ren0v0lordievader, no, i mean they are rotated but nothing manually, why?09:55
lordievaderIt is usually the case that the log file is removed but since a syslogger still has a reference to a file that the data of the file is not removed.09:56
lordievaderThis is why du and df sometimes do not agree.09:56
ren0v0right09:56
ren0v0is this what "sudo lsof | grep deleted | less"   shows?09:56
ren0v0found it as a suggestion on stackoverflow to check, there are lots and lots of logfile entries here, but the question is how do i overcome this without rebooting ?09:57
ren0v0and then, how do i stop it happening?09:57
lordievaderErr, it might be. Not sure.09:57
lordievaderYou can't it is inherent to how things work.09:58
lordievaderAs long as an application has a reference to a file the data of that time is not unallocated.09:59
ren0v0so my server will fall over because of this unless i reboot it ?09:59
lordievaderNo, finding the application responsible and restarting that is enough.10:00
ren0v0so i have to restart my webserver or backend10:07
ren0v0its the same thing10:07
ren0v0surely this isn't normal as you say10:07
ren0v0so like this?10:08
ren0v0nginx      7410               www-data   49w      REG              253,1 2746183886    1064873 /home/user/logs/access-api.log.1 (deleted)10:08
ren0v0there are 100s of these lines10:09
lordievaderNo, it is not.10:10
lordievaderIs it cleared though if you restart nginx?10:11
ren0v0i don't want to restart it10:12
ren0v0it'll knock out all users access, WS etc10:12
ren0v0sure it won't be for long, but thats crazy10:12
ren0v0guess i have no choice but to try10:13
ren0v0yes that cleared the space10:14
lordievaderI agree that it is not normal behaviour, I don't really know what can be the cause... :(10:14
lordievaderHmm10:14
ren0v0Process: 27435 ExecStop=/sbin/start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --retry QUIT/5 --pidfile /run/nginx.pid (code=exited, status=2)     not sure about this line here, with status=2, thats an error?10:14
lordievaderPerhaps there is a bug report about this?10:14
ren0v0could it be the way my nginx logs are rotated?10:15
lordievaderPerhaps, is that some in a non standard way?10:15
ren0v0well i took the config from nginx, but i believe it was much discussed, i'll revisit it and see if there were any updates10:16
ren0v0something else i noticed, in sysctl/journal logs it showed lots of  "├─11850 nginx: worker process is shutting down"  before i restarted10:16
lordievaderPerhaps those workers do not fully exit?10:18
ren0v0seems so, but god knows why10:20
