Issue

  • In the following example, node MyCluster-02 is not affected (was recently cleaned up manually) but node MyCluster-01 is heavily affected with 12 million inodes:


MyCluster::*> node run -node * -command df -i vol0
2 entries were acted on.
Node: MyCluster-01
Filesystem iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/vol/vol0/ 12330575 8920551 58% /vol/vol0/
Node: MyCluster-02
Filesystem iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/vol/vol0/ 294533 20956593 1% /vol/vol0/

  • The fix for this defect implements an ONTAP-internal job, to automatically clean up the corresponding files originating from CONTAP-115704.
