Pie charts on dashboard showing incorrect total and used size for Storage nodes
-
Hey, I am running into an odd problem that just popped up the other day when I updated. The piecharts on the dashboard for old nodes that I updated to the newest fog show the maximum hard drive size as 4 GB and have used 2 GB of it. If I click the pie chart to see the specs of the node it shows the correct numbers for hard drive size and usage. Here are a few screenshots of the problem
Also this problem does not occur on a node with a fresh install

@lhovarter I’m unable to replicate.
Maybe something is blocking access, and hence limiting the viewable elements of the disk?

Yeah it is strange, I looked at the permissions and it seems fine so I started poking around in the freespace.php file a bit. When I type in the page ( http://workingserver/fog/status/freespace.php?path=L2ltYWdlcw== ) I get {“free”:56375885824,“used”:15166595072} but on the one that is stuck (the apache log said it was suing the same path parameter in the code) I get {“free”:2147483647,“used”:2147483647}. I think that in that php file it is trying to get some sort of default path that is set wrong in my php config somewhere? I’ll do some more digging

Oh wait, duh, for some reason it is maxing out on how much memory is assigned to that number (2147483647 maximum for a 32 bit integer). So somewhere there is a memory setting in apache or php that is wrong (on my servers).

Ok, I found the reason. My old nodes are all 32-bit (we run fog on recycled hardware basically), my new node is 64-bit. In the freespace.php a recent change (somewhere within the last few months) made calculating $hdtotal and $hdused use intval(). This made them integers which is not a big deal on 64-bit systems in PHP but in 32-bit systems the harddrive space in bits is higher than the maximum size of an integer. If I restore the old freespace.php file it works fine.
I don’t know a lot about coding in PHP but is there a way to cast the result of the calculation to a double or long for 32-bit compatibility?
