So we were attempting to stress test a cephfs installation, and last night, after copying 500GB of files, we got this: 570G in the "raw" directory q782657 at usadc-seaxd01:/mounts/ceph1/pubdata/tcga$ ls -lh total 32M -rw-rw-r-- 1 q783775 pipeline 32M May 8 10:39 2014-02-25T12:00:01-0800_data_manifest.tsv -rw-rw-r-- 1 q783775 pipeline 144 May 8 10:42 cghub.key drwxrwxr-x 1 q783775 pipeline 234G May 8 11:31 fastqs drwxrwxr-x 1 q783775 pipeline 570G May 8 13:33 raw -rw-rw-r-- 1 q783775 pipeline 86 May 8 11:19 readme.txt But when I ls into the "raw" folder, I get zero files: q782657 at usadc-seaxd01:/mounts/ceph1/pubdata/tcga$ ls -lh raw total 0 If I mount that folder again... all the files "re-appear". Is this a bug that's been solved in a newer release?
