.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command starts a daemon process which garbage-collects
|
|
the log-structured file system residing at the point named by
|
|
.Ar node
|
|
in the global file system namespace.
|
|
This command is normally executed by
|
|
.Xr mount_lfs 8
|
|
when the log-structured file system is mounted.
|
|
The daemon will exit within a few minutes
|
|
of when the file system it was cleaning is unmounted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Garbage collection on a log-structured file system is done by scanning
|
|
the file system's segments for active, i.e. referenced, data and copying
|
|
it to new segments.
|
|
When all of the active data in a given segment has been copied to a new
|
|
segment that segment can be marked as empty, thus reclaiming the space
|
|
taken by the inactive data which was in it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Use bytes written, rather than segments read, when determining how many
|
|
segments to clean at once.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Coalescing mode.
|
|
For each live inode, check to see if it has too many
|
|
blocks that are not contiguous, and if it does, rewrite it.
|
|
After a single pass through the filesystem the cleaner will exit.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Run in debug mode.
|
|
Do not become a daemon process, and print debugging information.
|
|
More
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
s give more detailed debugging information.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Use filesystem idle time as the criterion for aggressive cleaning,
|
|
instead of system load.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar load-threshhold
|
|
Clean more aggressively when the system load is below the given threshhold.
|
|
The default threshhold is 0.2.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Use mmap, rather than rereading the Ifile to update the cleaner's
|
|
knowledge of the filesystem.
|
|
Do not use this option.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar number-of-segments
|
|
Clean this number of segments at a time: that is, pass this many
|
|
segments' blocks through a single call to lfs_markv, or, if
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
was also given, pass this many segments' worth of blocks through a
|
|
single call to lfs_markv.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Quit after cleaning once.
|
|
.It Fl r Ar report-frequency
|
|
Give an efficiency report after every
|
|
.Ar report-frequency
|
|
times through the main loop.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
When cleaning the file system,
|
|
send only a few blocks through lfs_markv at a time.
|
|
Don't use this option.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar timeout
|
|
Poll the filesystem every
|
|
.Ar timeout
|
|
seconds, looking for opportunities to clean.
|
|
The default is 300, that is, five minutes.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be automatically awakened when the filesystem is active,
|
|
so it is not usually necessary to set
|
|
.Ar timeout
|
|
to a low value.
