Rick,

That's something of a time bomb - If one of those directories fsck wishes it could correct is small and grows in number of files, you'll get the MDT going read only (and a few odd LBUGs if you try to put it back).

We have a lustre 1.8 filesystem that was upgraded to lustre 2.x and "dirdata" feature was

If I run fsck, the directory entries will be moved into lost+found.
I assume the next step is to run the ll_recover_lost_found_objs tool ?

Can you share any advice/experience about recovery ?
I only recall seeing the bug once on my file system (about a year after we 
upgraded), so it really hasn’t been a problem.  It has been a while, so I don’t 
remember the details.  But I think I just handled it by not letting fsck make 
any “corrections”.
