Re: [lustre-discuss] Unresponsiveness of OSS and Directory Listing Hang-up

Hi, We found out a solution to address the issues of directory listing hang-ups and unresponsive OSS. There seemed metadata inconsistency in the MDT. While the on-the-fly "lctl lfsck_start ..." would not work, we tried the offline ext4 level fix. We unmounted the MDT and ran the e2fsck
