I understand that an LSFS volume will automatically shrink itself during maintenance when IO is low. Is this right? I have a 100 GB LSFS volume, and it is using 484 GB of disk space. There is no IO for about 12 hours, but the LSFS volume has not decreased in size. In fact it has increased a few GB up to 484 GB now. When will the automatic shrink happen? Is there any way I can force it to happen (even a reboot, etc)?

It is a known issue of LSFS, and I`m sorry that you faced it. We should get the fix in a month. Stay tuned:)
