Disk space not freed up from cache

[meszape]

Hi

I ran into an issue, that my disk became 100% filled, however analyzing my filesystem I only used 20%. I did some digging and found, that when files are deleted from cache, the data doesn't gets deleted, becasue the files are still open.

I double checked and all uploads finished. I closed the application which was writting to googledrive, waited a few hours, but the space is still occupied, and i can see the cache files if i execute
sudo lsof | grep 'delete'

So to sum up:

• My cache directory is empty

• sudo lsof | grep 'deleted' shows that 20GB cache files are deleted, but still there

• Verified that modified files are updated in googledrive

• Verified that there is no network activity

• Verified with df -h that 20GB of space is still filled

Please advise!

Thanks!

Should be fixed in the beta ppa. If you are using opam, you can try the fix before it gets to the main repo, running:

opam pin -n add gapi-ocaml https://github.com/astrada/gapi-ocaml#master
opam update
opam upgrade

To restore the main repo version:

opam pin -n remove gapi-ocaml
opam update
opam upgrade

Thanks for reporting the issue!

This is a fix or a workarround?

It should fix the issue. The opam pin commands are to test the fix before it gets approved and lands in the official opam-repository.
