[Lustre-discuss] MDT Snapshot orphaned inodes

[Aaron Knister]

I'm trying to snapshot my mdt using lvm and back it up.

After i take the snapshot and go to mount the volume (as ldiskfs) I  
end up with all kinds of warnings about orphaned inodes. Is this  
normal? Is this a sign of potential problems with my MDT?
