Deduplication bug?

Hello,

today I think we hit hard this bug, filling a 3.7TB aggregate with 1.2TB of A-SIS

   Total space    WAFL reserve    Snap reserve    Usable space
BSR NVLOG           A-SIS          Smtape
         3673GB           367GB             0KB          3306GB
   0KB          1122GB             0KB

Space allocated to volumes in the aggregate

Volume                          Allocated            Used       Guarantee
volroot                             163GB          4167MB          volume
linux_virtual_machines              905GB           900GB            none

Aggregate                       Allocated            Used           Avail
Total space                        2027GB          1853GB           156GB
Snap reserve                          0KB             0KB             0KB
WAFL reserve                        367GB            39GB           327GB

Now we cleaned up a little bit and now we have 150GB free and the services running.

I would like to resolve the issue, and I'm asking myself if it's wise to:

- Disable the SIS avoiding a tonight disk filling:

sis off /vol/<volname>

for every volume that has the deduplication on

- When convenient (maybe in the weekend) run

sis start -s /vol/<volname>

- When convenient ask my specialist to upgrade the DataONTAP to a fixed version

Am I right?

PS: I'm also asking myself if there is a way to see how many stale fingerprints I have.

the percentages shown in sis status -l are not too high and it seems to me that they are wrong!

Thanks

Giuseppe
