    Description

      On another OST that went read-only on the same file system that I reported in LU-12912 the fsck is reporting over 1.3 million multiply-claimed blocks after going through phase1D of fsck -fy <device> that has been running since ~6PM last night. As of now it looks like it has only clone a small number of the blocks.

      I have never encountered this before so I'm not sure how to proceed. Any advise will be welcome.

            Just wanted to post that this case has been resolved. 

            Andreas, if the opportunity comes up at SC I'd like to buy you a few beers! Maybe pick your brain about the mysteries of fsck...

            Oh shoot! I thought I sent this out last night...

             

            The fsck completed and I ran another for good measure. 

            There were 461 instances of inode extent trees being optimized. It then went though Pass 1E Optimizing extent trees.

            Pass2 exposed those inodes that were cleared. We're going to see if we can determine the affected directories tomorrow.

            Pass5 had an enormous amount of Block bitmap differences.

             

            The file system is back online and everything looks ok.

            Oh - just saw your message and started the -fy fsck. 

            It shows those inodes being optimized. It's progressing so I'll post an update when it finish. 

            Thanks a lot for your help!

            I just tried the fsck with the -p option. I got:

            mscratch-OST0023: Inode <496> extent tree (at level 2) could be narrower, IGNORED.

            This is repeat for 23 additional inodes. 

            Then I got:

            mscratch-OST0023: Inode 919 has an invalid extent node (blk 119809, lblk 0)

             

            mscratch-OST0023: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.

             

            I'm guessing I am safe to proceed but am curious what these messages mean.
