Old fixed FIDs will not be reused because FID_SEQ_LOCAL_FILE is not used by local storage at all. Strictly speaking this sequence should be used only for nameless objects created by dt_object_find_or_create(). There is no need in compatibility efforts in this area.

Hi Tappro, since it is very near lustre-2.4 release and Russian seems in vacation. So I made a small patch (http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,6299) to fix the issue mentioned above as Andreas suggested, then it can be tested sooner.

Please review it when you are back from vacation. Thanks.

Hi Tappro, for an old MDT upgrade to Lustre-2.4, there were some local files created with fixed FIDs {FID_SEQ_LOCAL_FILE, fixed_oid, 0}. How the new local_file_find_or_create() or local_index_find_or_create() can guarantee that the new create local files will not reuse these fixed FIDs?
