[Lustre-discuss] lustre automount mounting problem with listing dir content deeper than mountpoint

[Heiko Schröter]

Hello,

just found that it seems to be related to a link problem inside the lustre directory structure.
One of our users is doing this (mountpoint /misc/data):

ln -s  /misc/data/index.gz  /misc/data/WorkOrSo/index.gz

Than he overwrites the file /misc/data/index.gz thereby moving it to a different OST.
If i delete these links (...../WorOrSo/) than lustre gets properly mounted with the automounter even diving into deeper dirs in one go.
i.e. on an unmounted lustre (without these links) doing a 'ls -la /misc/data/WorkOrSo/WhateverGoesHere/' is just fine.

Does lustre has a problem with _moving_ links meaning when the file pointed to is moved to a different OST ?

Regards
Heiko
