Hi Dan, Did you get anywhere with fixing your future rctimes, or understanding why you were getting them in the first place? I think we've run into this problem, future rctimes with no associated future subdir/item. The other similarity is the future rctimes always seem to end in .090, compared to more decimal places for the correct rctimes. I understand the '09' prefix was a bug, so I assume that means there was no nanosecond component reported for the future rctimes. Not sure whether this points to something other than clients with wonky clocks, but it's odd. e.g. these dirs. were all created and filled by the same client, sequentially: ]# getfattr -n ceph.dir.rctime * # file: 0001 ceph.dir.rctime="1614858289.09988958262" # file: 0002 ceph.dir.rctime="2140551942.090" # file: 0003 ceph.dir.rctime="1614876495.09878190535" Thanks, Tom > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan van der Ster <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: 15 October 2020 12:44 > To: ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> > Subject: fixing future rctimes > > Hi all, > > We have a few subdirs with an rctime in the future. > > # getfattr -n ceph.dir.rctime session > # file: session > ceph.dir.rctime="2576387188.090" > > I can't find any subdir or item in that directory with that rctime, so I presume > that there was previously a file and that rctime cannot go backwards [1] Is > there any way to fix these rctimes so they show the latest ctime of the > subtree? > > Also -- are we still relying on the client clock to set the rctime / ctime of a > file?
