.glusterfs folder is huge whereas my regular data is smaller

I'm using GlusterFS 3.7.6 and recently my disk space has been steadily increasing. Upon investigating my .glusterfs is huge (514 GB), whereas my total data sits at (324 GB).

Why is my .glusterfs folder so large?

The issue was that glusterfs keeps a copy of deleted files in the .trashcan directory. I had to write a cronjob to issue a 'delete' command on the folder which deletes the contents within (the folder itself won't be deleted).

But since this folder is for self-heal and rebalance, your choice of what get's deleted should be carefully thought about.
