When I delete files or directories the MooseFS size doesn’t change. Why?
MooseFS does not immediately erase files on deletion, to allow you revert the delete operation. Deleted files are kept in the trash bin for the configured amount of time before they are deleted. You can configure for how long files are kept in trash and empty the trash manually (to release the space). There are more details in Reference Guide in section “Operations specific for MooseFS”. In short – the time of storing a deleted file can be verified by the mfsgettrashtime command and changed with mfssettrashtime.
