[lustre-discuss] Error on a zpool underlying an OST

The answer came offline, and I guess I never replied back to the 
original posting.  This is what I learned.  It deals with only a single 
file, not 1000's.  --bob

OK, it would seem the affected user has already deleted this file, as 
the "lfs fid2path" returns:
[root at umt3int01 ~]# lfs fid2path /lustre/umt3 [0x200002582:0xb5c0:0x0]
fid2path: error on FID [0x200002582:0xb5c0:0x0]: No such file or directory

I verified I could to it back and forth using a different file.

I am making one last check, with the OST re-activated (I had set it 
inactive on our MDT/MGS to keep new files off while figuring this out).

Nope, gone.  Time to do the clear and remove the snapshot.

Thanks for your help on this.

  No, no downside.  The snapshot really is just used so that I can do this
  sort of repair live.

  Once you've found the Lustre OID with "find", for ll_decode_filter_fid to
  work you'll have to then umount the OST and remount as type lustre.

  Good luck!

Thank you!  This is very helpful.

I have no space to make a snapshot, so I will just umount this OST for a 
bit and remount it zfs.  Our users can take some off-time if we are not 
busy just then.

It will be an interesting process.  I'm all set to drain and remake 
though, should this method not work.  I was putting that off to start 
until later today as I've other issues just now.  Since it would take me 
2-3 days total to drain, remake and refill, your detailed method is far 
more likeable for me.

Just to be certain, other than the temporary unavailability of the 
Lustre file system, do you see any downside to not working from a snapshot?

  Hi Bob -

  I only get the lustre-discuss digest, so am not sure how to reply to that
  whole list.  But I can reply directly to you regarding your posting
  (copied at the bottom).

  In the ZFS error message

     errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files:
           ost-007/ost0030:<0x2c90f>

  0x2c90f is the ZFS inode number of the damaged item.  To turn this into a
  Lustre filename, do the following:

  1. First, you have to use "find" using that inode number to get the
  corresponding
     Lustre object ID.  I do this via a ZFS snapshot, something like:

     zfs snapshot ost-007/ost0030 at mar14
     mount -t zfs ost-007/ost0030 at mar14 /mnt/snapshot
     find /mnt/snapshot/O -inum 182543

  (note 0x2c90f = 182543 decimal).  This may return something like

     /mnt/snapshot/O/0/d22/54

  if indeed the damaged item is a file object.


  2. OK, assuming the "find" did return a file object like above (in this
  case the
     Lustre OID of the object is 54) you need to find the parent "FID" of
  that
     OID.  Do this as follows on the OSS where you've mounted the snapshot:

     [root at lustrenew3 ~]# ll_decode_filter_fid /mnt/snapshot/O/0/d22/54
     /mnt/snapshot/O/0/d22/54: parent=[0x20000040000010a:0x0:0x0] stripe=0


  3. That string "0x20000040000010a:0x0:0x0" is related to the Lustre FID.
  You
     can use "lfs fid2path" to convert this to a filename.  "lfs fid2path"
  must be
     execute on a client of your Lustre filesystem.  And, on our Lustre, 
the
     return string must be slightly altered (chopped up differently):

      [root at client ~]# lfs fid2path /djhzlus [0x200000400:0x10a:0x0]
  /djhzlus/test/copy1/l6496f21b7075m00155m031/gauge/Coulomb/l6496f21b7075m00155m031-Coul_002

     Here /djhzlus was where the Lustre filesystem was mounted on my client
     (client).  fid2path takes three numbers, in my case the first was
     the first 9 hex digits of the return from ll_decode_filter_fid, and
  the
     second was the last 5 hex digits (I supressed the leading zeros) and
  the
     third was 0x0 (not sure whether this was the 2nd or 3rd field from
     ll_decode_filter_fid.

     You can always use "lfs path2fid" on your Lustre client against 
another
     file in your filesystem to find the pattern for your FID.

     To check that you've indeed found the correct file, you can do
     "lfs getstripe" to confirm that the objid matches the Lustre OID you
     got with the find.


  Once you figure out the bad file, you can delete it from Lustre, and then
  use "zpool clear ost-007" to clear the reporting of
           ost-007/ost0030:<0x2c90f>
  Don't forget to umount and delete your ZFS snapshot of the OST with the
  bad file.


  I should mention that I found a Python script ("zfsobj2fid") somewhere
  that directly returns the FID using the ZFS debugger ("zdb") directly
  against the mounted OST.  You can probably google for zfsobj2fid; if you
  can't find it let me know and I'll dig around to see if I still have a
  copy.  Here's how I used it to get the FID for "lfs fid2path":

      [root at lustrenew3 ~]# ./zfsobj2fid zp2/ost2 0x113
      [0x20000040000010a:0x0:0x0]

  (my OID was 0x113, my pool was "zp2" and the ZFS OST was "ost2"). But,
  note that the FID returned still needs to be manipulated as above. I
  found this note in one of my write-ups about this manipulation:

  "Evidentally, the 'trusted.fid' xattr kept in ZFS for the OID file
  contains both the first and second sections of the FID (according to some
  slide decks I found, the FID is [sequence:objectID:version], so the xattr
  has the sequence and the objectID."
