.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm lfs_cleanerd
|
|
|
|
|
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 d
|
|
|
|
|
Run in debug mode.
|
|
|
|
|
Do not become a daemon process, and print debugging information.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
|
|
|
When cleaning the file system, read data in small chunks.
