Hello THE_BLUE.

Take into account this:

The NAME column displays the file's location. In the previous example, the bigd process is keeping a file open in /var/log/monitors, which is 2,018,573,650 bytes (roughly 2 GB). For the disk space to be released, either the bigd process must release the file permanently or it releases when you restart the bigd service.

You could restart your whole device as part as a maintenance task.

1. Restart B unit (standby)

2. Failover cluster

3. Restart A unit (standby)

BTW, if the info was helpful, please don't forget to give some thumbs up or mark the question as resolved.
