I suspect at least some hosts OR some backups are correct, or else OP
wouldn't have anything in the pool. If you find the problem affects all
hosts (the du command discussed previously will tell you that), then you
might want to look at one individual host like this:
du -sm /backup/pool /backup/cpool /backup/pc/host1/*
This should be a *lot* quicker than the previous du command, and also
should show minimal disk usage for each backup for host1. It is quicker
because you are only looking at the set of files for the pool, plus one
host.
PS, at this stage, you may want to look at the recent thread regarding
disk caches, and caching directory entries instead of file contents. It
might help with all the directory based searches you are doing to find
the problem. Long term you may (or not) want to keep the settings.
