Folks,
At the last software meeting we discussed the problem of small files
accumulating on the cache disk. I've generated a webpage with more info
than the page I showed at the meeting. Find it at
https://halldweb.jlab.org/cache_small_files/cache_small_file_report.html
The links are to sub-reports, for the indicated user, showing the 50
directories where that user has the greatest number of small files.
This is information only. What we do with these files is yet to be
determined. Recall that the biggest problem for us is that these files
are not backed up to tape despite their existence on the write-through
cache.
Note: this reports is still using the partial list, 12 million of 14
million files total, that existed on cache about two weeks ago. (I am on
my fourth or fifth try to get a complete list. Something or another
always crashes.)
