Based upon my observations when testing it appears these are temporary files prior to being added to the pool.

 

Craig - any input?

Hi Ray,
I have similar files in cpool. ~60GB in 6 files.
I suspected they were created in my experiments with archive host. At  
least the file date would fit.
But that was a wild guess.

Anybody else seeing such files?

I spotted two file stored in the cpool totaling 23.5GB, which is about

same as the discrepancy between the pool size that BackupPC reports and
what I'm counting on the file system.
