Description

When starting lustre on Sequoia's MDS/MGS, it is hitting the following assertion:

This is an x86_64 server with ppc64 clients. Lustre versions 2.3.63-3chaos and 2.3.63-4chaos.

Seeing some vague similarity with LU-2895, we applited the patch from that issue with no improvement. But this assertion is in a different function so not necessarily surprising.

Thanks for the update Ned. I have dropped the priority slightly to reflect that this is still an important support issue but is not a general blocker for the release itself.

We went ahead with the proposed workaround for one affected filesystem (lscratchv, used by vulcan). We were able to bring it up under Lustre 2.3.63 without hitting this bug.

We will do the same for the legacy Sequoia filesystem (lscratch1) tomorrow. Sequoia is already mounting a new filesystem formatted using Lustre 2.3.63, but we want to mount the old one read-only to allow data migration. I'll report back on how it goes tomorrow.

[Andreas Dilger]

Ned, there was a change with http://review.whamcloud.com/5820 (LU-2684) that affects the MDS FID storage in the LOV EA. This shouldn't affect normal Lustre operation, but there is a bit of churn in that code right now (e.g. LU-3152, LU-2888) that may affect upgraded filesystems and it would probably be better to wait until that issue is resolved.

[Ned Bass (Inactive)]

Niu, Alex, Di, can you think of any other on-disk format changes that may bite us after this one? I don't want to get into a state where we can't mount the filesystem under any version of Lustre.

[Ned Bass (Inactive)]

Okay, we'll schedule a time to try out this fix. It will probably be sometime next week.

[Di Wang]

Yes, LAST_ID should be used.

[Ned Bass (Inactive)]

Alex, the oi.* directories are mostly empty through the ZPL. /oi.1/0x200000001:0x14:0x0 doesn't exist , but /O/0/LAST_ID and /O/0/d0/0 are there with contents as you describe. So we should use the LAST_ID file instead, correct?

[Alex Zhuravlev]

This is good news then. I'd suggest to: take a snapshot for safety, then ..

mount with ZPL, check file /oi.1/0x200000001:0x14:0x0 and check its content, it should be 8byte length and contain a number close to 0x16bec0 (last id used on MDS).

the new file should be in /O/0/d0/0 - it should be 8byte too and the number much less than 0x16bec0, close to the first number you saw last in
a message like: Apr 9 16:50:12 vesta5 kernel: Lustre: lsv-OST0005: Slow creates, 2048/1482320 objects created at a rate of 40/s

I think it should be enough to write the content from the old file (/oi.1/0x200000001:0x14:0x0) into the new one (/O/0/d0/0)

Niu, Di, could you please confirm this suggestion is sane?

[Ned Bass (Inactive)]

Alex, BTW this filesystem will not be long-lived due to the risk of these on-disk incompatibilities. We will provide a newly-formatted filesystem for users that will coexist in the same zpools as this legacy one. We just need to be able to mount the legacy one under 2.3.63+ long enough for users to migrate their data.

[Ned Bass (Inactive)]

We can mount it with ZPL. There is some strange behavior like . or .. missing or showing up twice, or incorrect hard link counts. But we can read/write/open/close local objects like LAST_ID, last_rcvd, lov_objid, etc.

[Alex Zhuravlev]

AFAIU, yes, it usually can be mounted with ZPL. but.. this may not work for the old filesystem as compatibility with ZPL was implemented just before the landing in September, iirc.
