Hi, Pranith Kumar,

 

I has create a bug on Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531457

After my investigation for this link issue, I suppose your changes on afr-dir-write.c with issue " Don't let NFS cache stat after writes" , your fix is like:

--------------------------------------

       if (afr_txn_nothing_failed (frame, this)) {

                        /*if it did pre-op, it will do post-op changing ctime*/

                        if (priv->consistent_metadata &&

                            afr_needs_changelog_update (local))

                                afr_zero_fill_stat (local);

                        local->transaction.unwind (frame, this);

                }

In the above fix, it set the ia_nlink to ‘0’ if option consistent-metadata is set to “on”.

And hard link a file with which just created will lead to an error, and the error is caused in kernel function “vfs_link”:

if (inode->i_nlink == 0 && !(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE))

             error =  -ENOENT;

 

could you please have a check and give some comments here?

 

Thanks & Best Regards,

George
