    Description

      Hello all,

      we are using MariaDB-Galera-Cluster 10.0.12 and we ran (again) into the problem that lots of gcache.page-files are created but not deleted.
      I'am wondering why we have gcache.page-files at all because we set gcache.size to 50G! However, this problem eats up all disk space within a few days.

      Node 1:

      1. ls -lh gcache*
        rw------ 1 mysql mysql 256M Sep 24 08:00 gcache.page.000080

      Node 2:

      1. ls -lh gcache*
        rw------ 1 mysql mysql 256M Sep 21 12:22 gcache.page.000000

      Node 3:

      1. ls -ls gcache*
        262148 rw------ 1 mysql mysql 256M Sep 24 01:29 gcache.page.000000
        262120 rw------ 1 mysql mysql 256M Sep 24 03:22 gcache.page.000001
        262148 rw------ 1 mysql mysql 256M Sep 24 05:14 gcache.page.000002

        262148 rw------ 1 mysql mysql 256M Sep 24 08:01 gcache.page.000005

      So all this started suddenly on Sep 21. We haven't changed anything that day and you can't find something unusual in the error logs. (attached)
      This happend one time before, we "fixed" the problem by stopping the servers successively and deleting the gcache.page-files physically. This worked for about two weeks and now the problem ist back.
      Even more confusing: In contrast to Node 2 and 3, Node 1 creates the gcache.page-files (whatever the reason is) and deletes it again after filling it up..

      All this happens even due to very low load times (at night).

      I also attatched the my.cnf we use.
      I reported this problem at codership too but i haven't received a response until now. (https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!topic/codership-team/1OKXmpzfmwc)

      I would be very thankful for any help regarding this issue.

      Thank you and best wishes
      Philipp
