Answer

  • AltaVault keeps a count of labelmaps in a durable stat called MAP_COUNT.  
  • A labelmap is a mapping of each file to its data, for every file there is one labelmap.
  • MAP_COUNT is a running count of labelmaps created and removed when backups are written or expired.
  • MAP_COUNT can become inaccurate when backups are frequently deleted, and garbage collection hasn’t yet caught up to update the count.
  • Display the current count of labelmaps/files with the CLI command rfsctl exec “megastore.stats.map_count”
