[lustre-discuss] lustre 2.8.0, getattr error rc = -2

[Christopher B Coffey]

Hi,

I’ve upgraded our lustre filesystem from 2.5.3 (server), and 2.6.0 (client) to 2.8.0 all around.  Things look great.  But I am getting these errors on the mds logs:

Apr 11 11:04:02 mds1 kernel: LustreError: 43984:0:(mdt_handler.c:893:mdt_getattr_internal()) blizzard-MDT0000: getattr error for [0x200040406:0xeba3:0x0]: rc = -2


But,

lfs fid2path /scratch 0x200040406:0xeba3:0x0
fid2path: error on FID 0x200040406:0xeba3:0x0: No such file or directory


So, the file is really not there.  But, why would the client be requesting a file that is not there?  Maybe broken hardlink?  Or what else could it be?  A timing issue where the file was deleted in the process of being retrieved?  Or does this error message indicate something else? Thanks!

Best,
Chris
