Re: CephFS "corruption" -- Nulled bytes

Okay, this has happened several more times. Always seems to be a small
file that should be read-only (perhaps simultaneously) on many
different clients. It is just through the cephfs interface that the
files are corrupted, the objects in the cachepool and erasure coded
pool are still correct. I am beginning to doubt these files are
getting a truncation request.

Twice now have been different perl files, once was someones .bashrc,
once was an input file for another application, timestamps on the
files indicate that the files haven't been modified in weeks.

Any other possibilites? Or any way to figure out what happened?
