Hi all, In 1.4 and 1.2 there is a hole that leaves orphans in a orphan directory till fsck was run or recovery occurs on that slot.
In the current implementation, if node A did rm of a file while it is opened by node B. Now if node A umounts and node B dies and is restarted first, it only recovers itself leaving orphan file in node A's orphan directory. In order to fix the problem, I am looking for your inputs on what is the best :) 1) recover all slots(osb->max_slots) whenever there is a recovery. This can trigger simultaneous recoveries if there were multiple node failures. 2) queue recovery during mount(even if the journal is clean). This can still leave the file in orphan directory till the slot is used. 3) Initiate recovery periodically after certian interval. I do not see much benefit in this. thanks, --Srini _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-devel
