Sage et. al, Could you please let me know what will happen during journal replay in this scenario ? 1. Say last committed seq is 3 and after that one more independent transaction with say 4 came. Transaction seq 4, has say delete xattr, delete object, create a new object, set xattr 2. Seq 4 is committed in journal and in half way of applying (say all deletes are done , and created new object but set xattr not done) system crashed. 3. During restart OSD will try to replay seq 4. Now, my understanding is, it will blindly run the entire transaction again. But.. 1. Delete will fail since the file doesn't exists. 2. It will create the new object again even if it is already created , probably get an already exist error (?) Question is, how it will determine the error is because of filesystem corruption or half executed transaction ? I saw in the code we are ignoring these errors during replay , is it correct ? Any information on this will be helpful.
