Description

Several times while testing HSM in a virtual environment (Centos 6.5 + Lustre 2.5.1 on clients and servers), we've observed what may be HSM_ACTIONS llog corruption.

Here's our internal bug description:
A Lustre filesystem where HSM and changelogs were used started misbehaving. The system was rebooted, and started spewing a lot of these traces in the system log:

At that point the MDS would not accept any HSM request, nor would it deliver any.

The MGT/MDT were unmounted and remounted as ldisk, and the file hsm_actions was deleted. Lustre was then remounted, and HSM became usable again.

We do not have a simple reproducer for this, but it has happened several times.
