Hi all,

First time poster here, doing it on a lazy morning.

Have you tried to halt and start the service?

Linux filesystem doesn't release deleted files when the process still has process and pointer references to them (i.e. most likely the reason for this inquiry). Probably a bug.

Stop/start the service and all child threads could fix your filesystem issue.

If you already have more than one Linux servers, each with distinct IP addresses, and your DNS with A record to each of them (à la round-robin), with no HTTP client "stickyness" affinity to one node (e.g. cookie or way to tell that one particular Browser must only go to node0). You won't create downtime.

Hope this helps. Stay safe.
