[Lustre-discuss] inode weirdness

[Stu Midgley]

I am having jobs on a cluster client crash.  The job creates a small
text file (using cp) and then immediately tries to use it with another
application.  The application fails saying the file doesn't exist.

In the client /var/log/messages, I'm seeing

Sep  4 15:58:17 clus039 kernel: LustreError:
15249:0:(file.c:2930:ll_inode_revalidate_fini()) failure -2 inode
75792903

which, I'm led to believe is never meant to occur :)

Any ideas?

# uname -a

nothing on the mds or oss.
