ix-applications dataset growing daily ...

[pixelwave]

Version: TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.0

My ix-applications folder grows around 300-400 MB / daily. I currently have the following apps:

The following display for "ix-applications" I got on the storage tab in the GUI:

Day 1 - 9.05 GiB
Day 3 - 9.71 GiB
Day 4 - 10.16 GiB

When I check via Shell though ... the storage is much less and seems more or less constant?

Day1

Day3

Day4

Where and how is this growth happening? I also tried to reboot the system. The storage tab still says 10.16 GiB for "ix-applications" ...

If this growth continues for a year it will account for > 100 GiB and a lot of writes ... (Storage Pool is an NVMe SSD).

snapshots?

snapshots?

I only create weekly or monthly snapshots ... but the dataset is consistently growing daily.

Maybe it's not so much what you have scheduled, but what the underlying k3s system is doing? Is it growth of unpruned back-end docker stuff? I think I'd be looking at "zfs list -t snap" and other pool stats via the CLI.

This is the output of this command ... there are a ton of files. Sorry but I am just starting with kubernetes and how it works ...

Don't enough about kubernetes to offer further suggestions. (See this post from @truecharts https://www.truenas.com/community/t...e-scale-rc-1-reality.97137/page-2#post-671193 )

I had the same issue when I downloaded a large number of files and typed the file path in wrong. The torrents finished but never moved into the completed folder. Noticed the ix-applications dataset had grown but from running "du -h --max-depth=1 . | sort -hr " in shell ix-application only shows 14G and not 7TiB. Figured out all the space was being used by "/ix-applications/k3s/kubelet/" this folder doesn't show up even when running "ls -lisa" don't know why. But its defiantly in your snapshots under "/ix-applications/k3s/kubelet".
