Thanks for the advice and info regarding the error. I tried ` ceph tell mds.database-0 scrub start / recursive repair force` and it didn't help. Is there anything else I can try? Or manually fix the links?

What does this sort of damage mean? Is > there anything I can do to recover these files? Scrubbing should correct it. Try "recursive repair force" to see if that helps. "force" will cause the MDS to revisit metadata that has been scrubbed previously but unchanged since then. -- Patrick Donnelly, Ph.D. He / Him / His Principal Software Engineer Red Hat Sunnyvale, CA GPG: 19F28A586F808C2402351B93C3301A3E258DD79D _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
