[Lustre-discuss] client missing inodes

[Thomas Roth]

Hi all,

recently, many of our clients have been reporting errors of the type:
Jul 21 14:40:41  kernel: LustreError:
26871:0:(file.c:3024:ll_inode_revalidate_fini()) failure -2 inode 72692692

-2 is "no such file or directory"
Am I right that this means some inode info got lost on the MDT?

Also, people have reported problems finding their own files directly
after writing them. However, later on/ on other clients, these files
could be accessed. I'm not sure about the files' content, though.

Regards,
Thomas
