I haven’t checked the logs, but the most obvious way this happens is if the mtime set on the directory is in the future compared to the time on the client or server making changes — CephFS does not move times backwards. (This causes some problems but prevents many, many others when times are not synchronized well across the clients and servers.) -Greg On Thu, May 25, 2023 at 7:58 AM Sandip Divekar < sandip.divekar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Kindly request you that follow steps given in previous mail and paste the > output here. > > The reason behind this request is that we have encountered an issue which > is easily reproducible on > Latest version of both quincy and pacific, also we have thoroughly > investigated the matter and we are certain that > No other factors are at play in this scenario. > > Note : We have used Debian 11 for testing. > sdsadmin@ceph-pacific-1:~$ uname -a > Linux ceph-pacific-1 5.10.0-10-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.84-1 (2021-12-08) > x86_64 GNU/Linux > sdsadmin@ceph-pacific-1:~$ sudo ceph -v > ceph version 16.2.13 (5378749ba6be3a0868b51803968ee9cde4833a3e) pacific > (stable) > > Thanks for your prompt reply. > > Regards > Sandip Divekar > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Palmer <chris.palmer@xxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2023 7:25 PM > To: ceph-users@xxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Unexpected behavior of directory mtime after > being set explicitly > > ***** EXTERNAL EMAIL ***** > > Hi Milind > I just tried this using the ceph kernel client and ceph-common 17.2.6 > package in the latest Fedora kernel, against Ceph 17.2.6 and it worked > perfectly... > There must be some other factor in play. > Chris > > On 25/05/2023 13:04, Sandip Divekar wrote: > > Hello Milind, > > > > We are using Ceph Kernel Client. > > But we found this same behavior while using Libcephfs library. > > > > Should we treat this as a bug?
