:I have these messages on the console. :Why is this? Is this related with mirroring? :Are they serious?? : :Thanks : :Siju
Were you accessing a snapshot or the live filesystem at the time of the warning? The snapshots have an occassional issue in that the snapshot can be taken inbetween the creation of an inode and the related directory entry. From the snapshot's point of view the directory entry exists but the inode does not. The simplest solution to this issue to do a few 'sync' commands with sleeps before taking a snapshot. I've been trying to fix it in the HAMMER utility itself but I really need to fix it in the snapshot ioctl code. -- Another possible issue is if you were to prune out a snapshot but continue to try to access it. If you do a hammer prune-everything it wipes the snapshots but doesn't rm the snapshot softlinks (a deficiency in the hammer utility). Finally, accessing the snapshots directory on the slave that was mirrored from the master can create a little confusion. The HAMMER utility does not set up a snapshots directory for the slave because it doesn't really know where to put the directory. The slave is a mirror but pruning operations done on the master are not reflected on the slave. Actually this is a problem. I should probably set the snapshots directory on the slave the same as on the master so when snapshots are pruned from the master they also get pruned on the slave. You might have to set up a snapshots directory for the slave, and you would do so by creating the directory on a live filesystem somewhere other then on the slave (which is read-only because its a slave). Using hammer pfs-update. The snapshots on the slave can be managed independantly of the snapshots on the master. These are all things that the utility does not address well and so can be a bit confusing to the user. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> :Jul 21 17:06:46 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: HAMMER: WARNING: Missing inode for :dirent "Repository" :Jul 21 17:06:46 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: obj_id = 0000000100b3b22e :Jul 21 17:06:48 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: HAMMER: WARNING: Missing inode for :dirent "Root" :Jul 21 17:06:48 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: obj_id = 0000000100c4376a :Jul 21 17:06:49 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: HAMMER: WARNING: Missing inode for :dirent "CVS" :Jul 21 17:06:49 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: obj_id = 000000010163e8af :Jul 21 17:06:49 dfly-bkpsrv kernel: HAMMER: WARNING: Missing inode for :dirent "Repository" :...
