[Lustre-discuss] WARNING: Potential directory corruptions on the MDS with 1.6.7

[Andrea Rucks]

Hi there,

For a new production system, we downloaded Lustre 1.6.7 a couple weeks ago 
and have installed and configured it.  I just read this warning:

>A bug has been identified in 1.6.7 that can cause directory corruptions 
>on the MDT. A patch and full details are in bug 18695 - 
>https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18695

>We recommend to anyone running 1.6.7 on the MDS to unmount the MDT, run 
>e2fsck against the MDT device and apply the patch from bug 18695 as soon 
>as possible.

I've visited this page, but am uncertain as to how to "apply the patch" 
(does it require compiling?).  Are there any instructions available, or 
perhaps someone could point me to a FAQ?

Cheers and thanks,

Ms. Andrea D. Rucks
