I face a weird problem, for an unknown reason, I have more files in my contentstore directory than the number of lines in the Alfresco table alf_content_url.
I've been using the simple following Unix command:
find contentstore -name "*.bin" | wc
And for the database
SELECT count(*) FROM alf_content_url;
Of course, I also dealt with the orphans so the problem is not there.
Is there a reason why files would remain in contentstore directory when not referenced any more in the database ?
I'm using Alfresco Community version 7.3.1 as docker containers.
Thx
I see 2 reasons for these orphaned files:
The default behaviour of the orphanCleanup job is to ignore any error:
# The action to take when a store or stores fails to delete orphaned content
# IGNORE: Just log a warning. The binary remains and the record is expunged
# KEEP_URL: Log a warning and create a URL entry with orphan time 0. It won't be processed or removed.
system.content.deletionFailureAction=IGNORE
