[Lustre-discuss] Broken client

[Herbert Fruchtl]

I have a Lustre (1.6.7) system that looks OKish (as far as I can see) from the 
mds and most of the clients. From one client however (the users' login machine) 
it looks broken. Some files are missing, some seem broken, and the df command 
hangs.

Rebooting the client doesn't change anything. Is it broken, or is there some 
persistent information that I need to flush? When I do an ls on a partially 
broken directory, I get the following two lines in /var/log/messages:

Nov 18 12:13:53 mhdc kernel: [ 7093.751196] LustreError: 
10919:0:(file.c:999:ll_glimpse_size()) obd_enqueue returned rc -5, returning -EIO
Nov 18 12:13:53 mhdc kernel: [ 7093.761098] LustreError: 
10919:0:(file.c:999:ll_glimpse_size()) Skipped 9 previous similar messages

Any ideas how to proceed with the least disruption?

Thanks in advance,

   Herbert
