Hi there I've got a 4nodes RHEL4 cluster with GFS version 6.1.0 (built Jun 7 2005 12:46:04). The shared disk is a NAS detected by aoe as /dev/etherd/e0.0. ANd i have problem on few files on teh file system : if i tried to modify the inodes o this files (delete the file, or unlink the inode) the cluster nodes where i launch the command lost the GFS and the GFS modules stay busy and cannot be remove from the kernel. my nodes is so stuck and the only solution is only to hardware restart this nodes. All the GFS journal seems to work fine ...i can even get stat of the DEAD file. Is GFS got problem to manipulate file in a 'more than 1 million files' folder ? IS anyone got a solution to remove this dead files or delete teh fodler that content all these dead files ? Is a gfs.fsck can resolv my problem ? Is there any later version that fix this problem ? Thanks in advance. PS = see below all the details The error i get when i try to unlink the file inode: ===========ERROR============ GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: fatal: filesystem consistency error GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: inode = 8516674/8516674 GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: function = gfs_change_nlink GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: file = /usr/src/build/574067-i686/BUILD/smp/src/gfs/inode.c, line = 843 GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: time = 1141080134 GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: about to withdraw from the cluster GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: waiting for outstanding I/O GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: telling LM to withdraw lock_dlm: withdraw abandoned memory GFS: fsid=entcluster:sataide.2: withdrawn mh_magic = 0x01161970 mh_type = 4 mh_generation = 68 mh_format = 400 mh_incarn = 6 no_formal_ino = 8516674 no_addr = 8516674 di_mode = 0664 di_uid = 500 di_gid = 500 di_nlink = 0 di_size = 0 di_blocks = 1 di_atime = 1141042636 di_mtime = 1140001370 di_ctime = 1140001370 di_major = 0 di_minor = 0 di_rgrp = 8513987 di_goal_rgrp = 8513987 di_goal_dblk = 2682 di_goal_mblk = 2682 di_flags = 0x00000004 di_payload_format = 0 di_type = 1 di_height = 0 di_incarn = 0 di_pad = 0 di_depth = 0 di_entries = 0 no_formal_ino = 0 no_addr = 0 di_eattr = 0 di_reserved = 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ========END OF ERROR========== My cman status: ==========STATUS============ Protocol version: 5.0.1 Config version: 4 Cluster name: entcluster Cluster ID: 42548 Cluster Member: Yes Membership state: Cluster-Member Nodes: 4 Expected_votes: 1 Total_votes: 4 Quorum: 3 Active subsystems: 5 Node name: XXX.domainX.tld Node addresses: x.x.x.x ========END CMAN========= My gfs_tool df : ============DF========= /home: SB lock proto = "lock_dlm" SB lock table = "entcluster:sataide" SB ondisk format = 1309 SB multihost format = 1401 Block size = 4096 Journals = 4 Resource Groups = 274 Mounted lock proto = "lock_dlm" Mounted lock table = "entcluster:sataide" Mounted host data = "" Journal number = 0 Lock module flags = Local flocks = FALSE Local caching = FALSE Oopses OK = FALSE Type Total Used Free use% ------------------------------------------------------------------------ inodes 100642 100642 0 100% metadata 3842538 8527 3834011 0% data 13999476 2760327 11239149 20% =============END DF ========= Version of my modules : ========modules======== CMAN 2.6.9-36.0 (built May 31 2005 12:15:02) installed DLM 2.6.9-34.0 (built Jun 2 2005 15:17:56) installed Lock_Harness 2.6.9-35.5 (built Jun 7 2005 12:42:30) installed GFS 2.6.9-35.5 (built Jun 7 2005 12:42:49) installed aoe: aoe_init: AoE v2.6-11 initialised.
