Re: CephFS tar archiving immediately after writing

Hmm, I *think* this might be something we've seen before and is the result of our recursive statistics (ie, the thing that makes directory sizes reflect the data within them instead of 1 block size). If that's the case it should resolve within a few seconds to maybe tens of seconds under stress?
But there's also some work to force a full flush of those rstats up the tree to enable good differential backups. Not sure what the status of that is.

We have an existing workflow that we've moved from one server sharing a local disk via NFS to secondary servers to all of them mounting CephFS.  The primary server runs a script similar to [1] this, but since we've moved it into CephFS, we get [2] this error.  We added the sync in there to try to help this, but it didn't have an effect.

Does anyone have a suggestion other than looping over a sleep to wait for the tar to succeed?  Waiting just a few seconds to run tar does work, but during a Ceph recovery situation, I can see that needing to be longer and longer.
