Hello, subscribers!

Please advise me in the problem. Gfs2 volume on our cluster servers is
growing all the time, but the overall size of the files on the partition
remains small. Here it is:

# df -h
/dev/sdb5             4,7G  3,9G  853M  83% /var/log/httpd

But

# du -ch /var/log/httpd/
70M     /var/log/httpd/

I reboot the cluster systems to kill any suspicious processes but
nothing happens. Then I umount partition on both cluster nodes and do
fsck.gfs2 on partition. It was found many file system errors and after
that everything fell into place. But after 1 weak has passed 
the same thing happened again, volume is grows again. Is this any bug in
gfs2 implementation or something else? We using CentOS release 5.5
x86_64 on server and dag, epel repositories to software updates.

Thanks to all.
