I found that for badger instance initialized here for Raft WALs (which goes to “zw” dir by default), value log GC is not setup. On the other hand, for “p” and “w” directories, the badger value log GC is setup like this . This leads to “zw” directory usage growing infinitely. I confirmed my “zw” dir…

Dgraph is not calling Badger vlog GC for "zw" directory
