Hi, I went on the particular server on which the file in question resides. I check the RAID and all the disks show up as OK. I looked in dmesg and did not see anything on xfs. To confirm this absence, I did "grep -in xfs dmesg" and that also came up empty. "grep -in fs dmesg" (no "x") returns 161:checking if image is initramfs... it is 196:usbcore: registered new driver usbfs 256:VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1 453:EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. 494:EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal 496:EXT3 FS on sda6, internal journal 497:EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. 499:EXT3 FS on sda3, internal journal 500:EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. 502:EXT3 FS on sda2, internal journal 503:EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Pat Haley Email: phaley at mit.edu Center for Ocean Engineering Phone: (617) 253-6824 Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Fax: (617) 253-8125 MIT, Room 5-222B http://web.mit.edu/phaley/www/ 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139-4301 Quoting Joe Landman <landman at scalableinformatics.com>: > On 02/26/2012 12:54 PM, Patrick Haley wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> We have recently upgraded our gluster to 3.2.5 and have >> encountered the following error.
