[lustre-discuss] Stray files after failed lfs_migrate

[Mohr, Rick]

Angelos,

If a file still existed on the MDS but its data on the OST had somehow been removed, then you might see symptoms like those you described.  (stat fails because info can't be retrieved from the ost, but lfs getstripe can still query layout info from the mds.).  But if that is the case, I can't really say how it might have happened in the first place.

Have you tried running lfsck to look for consistency problems?

    Dear all,

    I was dealing with some OST migration using lfs_migrate and things went 
    mostly fine albeit for a few files that might have been in use during 
    the migration:

    The files couldn't be stat'ed but still returns upon lfs getstripe.

    The same error appears on all clients and I've tried unmounting and 
    remounting the MDT on the server side already.

    Any idea what might have been corrupted and what could be the fix?

    Cheers,
