Actually it seems that disabling all of the three options:
cluster.lookup-optimize
cluster.readdir-optimize
performance.readdir-ahead
doesn't stop this from happening.
Here's what I have learned sofar:
- Doing the simple case of "rm -rf" after creating the tree works fine,
whether or not the above options are on.
- To get the "Directory not empty" failure (with two instances of the same
file name, one in each brick, with one having 0 mode and 0 size) I have to:
- Do an "rm -r" without the "f" option.
This will then generate a message like:
Override --------- root wheel ... ?
- If you answer "y" to all of these, then it will succeed as above (which
makes sense since "-f" just disables these messages).
However, if you answer "n" and then:
<ctrl>C out of the "rm -r"
unmount/remount the fuse mount point
do another "rm -r"
(I'm not 100% certain that both of these steps is needed, but it is
the only way I've been able to reproduce it?)
--> then you get the "Directory not empty" failures.
I have also found that sometimes after a unmount/remount I can "rm <file>" of
the file left in the directory and the "cd ..; rmdir <dir>" successfully.
However, other times, the "rm" doesn't report an error, but the file remains
visible via "ls" and the rmdir fails.
Also, I've seen cases where I type "ls -l" twice and see one entry for the
file in reply to the first "ls", but two entries for the file in a second
"ls -l" done about a second later.
I've looked at the logs (although I didn't have debug enabled) and all I
found that looked slightly suspicious were messages w.r.t. client and server
having different lock versions, reopening fd's.
When I looked at the system calls via ktrace (I'm guessing similar to strace
under Linux?), the unlink syscalls always succeed (reply 0) and the getdirentries()
find entries in the directories. (I'd guess that means that the "lookup" done
in the "unlink" succeeds?)
It does seem that unmount/remount of the fuse mount has some effect on what is
returned.
Sorry this isn't particularily useful, but it's all I have, rick
