Dear xrootd-l,

I'm seeing the issue that one of the disks on one of our xcache servers 
fills up disproportionally - that means it runs completely full until i 
get "no space left on device" errors without xcache running cleanup, 
while the other disks still have plenty of space left. My current df output:

/dev/sdb                   btrfs     5,5T  5,2T  273G  96% /srv/xcache/b
/dev/sda                   btrfs     5,5T  4,9T  584G  90% /srv/xcache/a
/dev/sdh                   btrfs     5,5T  5,0T  562G  90% /srv/xcache/h
/dev/sdj                   btrfs     5,5T  5,0T  551G  91% /srv/xcache/j
/dev/sdf                   btrfs     5,5T  4,9T  579G  90% /srv/xcache/f
[...]

If you look at the first line you see that disk is 96% full while the 
others are around 90%. The issue occurred the first time after i built a 
new container for running xrootd. That change involved switching the 
container from centos7 to almalinux8 and changing the xrootd user id 
(ran chown and chgrp afterwards on the cache directories which are bind 
mounted). The xrootd version stayed the same (5.4.2). The high/low 
watermark configuration is the following:

pfc.diskusage 0.90 0.95

I already tried clearing the misbehaving disk (after it ran full to 
100%), but now the issue is reappearing. Has anyone seen similar issues 
or does it ring any bells for you?

One thing i checked is the size that xrootd reports in the log for the 
total storage and that at least matches what i get when i sum the 
entries from `df`.

Cheers,
Nikolai
