Description
Similar to LU-7616 "creation of LVM snapshot on ldiskfs based MDT hangs until MDT activity/use is halted", but opening a new case for tracking.
The goal is to use LVM snapshots and tar to make file level MDT backups. Procedure worked fine 2 or 3 times, then we triggered the following problem on a recent attempt.
The MDS became extremely sluggish, and all MDT threads went into D state, when running the following command:
lvcreate -l95%FREE -s -p r -n mdt_snap /dev/nbp9-vg/mdt9
(the command never returned, and any further lv* commands hung as well)
In the logs...

The closest match I could find in lost+found was:
[0x20011c02e:0x1e13:0x0]-[0x20001d596:0x97:0x0]-3-C-0 [0x20011c02e:0x69c7:0x0]-[0x20001d596:0x97:0x0]-0-C-0 [0x20011c030:0x1219c:0x0]-[0x20001d596:0x97:0x0]-2-C-0 [0x20011c030:0x13ffc:0x0]-[0x20001d596:0x97:0x0]-1-C-0
And the file ownership is the same as /nobackupp9/dtalcott/nagtest.toobig
To follow up on question from yesterday, which you probably already guessed...
There are 240 OSTs on the corrupted file system (on 16 OSS).
By default, the repairing behaviour will be recorded in Lustre debug log via label "D_LFSCK". But because Lustre kernel log is in RAM only, and if you did not dump them periodically, then it will be overwritten. I am not sure whether you have such log or not.
On the other hand, the log "nagtest.toobig.stripes" shows that there are 244 OST-objects claiming as the stripe of the [0x20001d596:0x97:0x0], but the "lfs getstripe" output shows that the file "nagtest.toobig" only has 240 stripes. So there are (at least) 4 OST-objects are fake. I found that there are 4 OST-objects with the size 251658240 bytes are conflict with another 4 OST-objects with the size 4194304 bytes, as shown following:

The OST-objects A-D with the size 251658240 bytes claim as the first 4 stripes of the file "nagtest.toobig". The reason may be as following: the file "nagtest.toobig" lost its LOV EA because some unknown reason. Either the OST-objects A-D or a-d have corrupted PFID EA. According to the size attribute, the OST-objects A-D seems have corrupted PFID EA. During the LFSCK processing, the layout LFSCK tried to re-geneate the "nagtest.toobig" LOV EA with these 244 orphan OST-objects. Unfortunately, the OST-objects A-D were found earlier than the OST-objects a-d, then the regenerated LOV EA contains the OST-objects A-D information. And then when the orphan OST-objects a-d were handled, the layout LFSCK found that they were conflict with some others, then the layout LFSCK should have created some new files with the name "[0x20001d596:0x97:0x0]-[0x100000000:0x512a2:0x0]-C-0" or similar under the directory ".lustre/lost+found/MDT0000/". Please check for verification.
Is there a way log what files that lfsck is making changes to.
As for the /nobackupp9/dtalcott/nagtest.toobig. I am attaching object scan of all osts for this file. You can see that there was 2 stripes 0. All the stripe for this file are 4194304 in size but the stripe on OST-65 is 251658240.

and ost 65 has stripe 62
#filename:type,blockgroup,uid,gid,inode,size,type,fid,stripe,ctime,atime,mtime
65.out.service162:F,39432,10491,1179,5047326,4194304,lma,[0x100000000:0x51208:0x0],0,fid,[0x20001d596:0x97:0xd8],216,1461629208,1461629204,1461629208
How many OSTs in your system? Have you ever created the file nagtest.toobig with 240 stripes? If no, then it may because that some OST-object(s) contained bad PFID EA, and claimed that its parent is the file nagtest.toobig, but LFSCK could NOT know whether it is right or not. Since nobody conflict with it/them, then the nagtest.toobig's LOV EA is enlarged to contain those OST-object(s) as to the size increased.
According to the "lfs getstripe" output, we know every OST-object's ID, then we can use such ID to check on related OST. For example:
obdidx objid objid group
65 9682882 0x93bfc2 0
Here "65" corresponding to the OST0041 (HEX), the "9682882" corresponding to the sub-dir "9682882 % 32 = 2" under /O, you can check such OST-object via: debugfs -c -R "stat /O/0/d2/9682882" $OST0041_dev
On the other hand, the OST-objects with ID "332xx" looks abnormal. Usually, the OST-object's ID on different OSTs should be quite scattered. But your case looks some adjacent numbers. That makes me to suspect that the LOV EA is over-written by some pattern data.
Note: we do eventually still want to get to the bottom of the snapshot journal call trace and hang issue.
But first, another possible corruption scenario... A file used for hourly I/O tests grew from 960M before the lfsck to 57G afterward. It appears the extra size is mostly zeros, embedded in the middle of the file.

So far I have not been able to figure out any reasonable way to scan for other files that grew a lot and got filled with zeros. The best I can think of is a find for all files modified since 4/28 that are more than ~1GB. Then compare the alleged size (ls -l) and the blocks used (du -s), and if they are more than ~10x off it could be a problem, and look at those files individually. Ugh! Any other ideas?
For the files under .lustre/lost+found/MDT0000/, handle them as following:
1) If the file is accessible (means no IO error), and its size is NOT zero, then it contains some valid data. But since we do not know its original position in the namespace, you needs to move them back to the namespace according to your memory or some new rule.
2) If the file is accessible, and if the size is zero, then it is safe to remove them directly, at least it does not contains valid data, although it may affect related inode quota a bit.
3) If the file is inaccessible with IO error, means only part of the stripes are found, and there is 'hole' in the re-generated LOV EA. Then you can dump part of the data from such file via "dd conv=sync,noerror ...". If such part data is still valuable, then save them in some new file. Otherwise, you have to discard them.
There are indeed about 464350 files in the .lustre/lost+found/MDT0000/ directory. The vast majority of them are owned by root, size zero, and date stamped around when the lfsck was run... so I'm assuming those are useless.
In going through the remaining ~969 "interesting" ones, several have IO errors:

Would I be correct in assuming that those are non-recoverable?
There are several possible cases for the remained 125 no-stripes files.
1) The file has never been written after create, so the OST-object has no parent FID information.
2) The OST-object's parent FID EA is corrupted, so the OST-object does not know which file it belongs to. Then the layout LFSCK will mark it as Lustre orphan, and put under the directory "$mount_point/.lustre/lost+found/MDT0000/".
3) The OST-object was lost also.
4) There was something wrong during the layout LFSCK as to the layout LFSCK failed to re-generate the LOV EA.
According to my experience, the first case more possible.
The layout LFSCK can recover file owner information, but cannot recover ACL. Sorry for such inconvenience.
lfsck was completed last night after the upgrade to 2.7.1.
Initial indications are that there was a lot of improvement, out of the initial list of 24150 problem files files, only 125 remain with no stripe info. They appear to mostly be grouped into a handful of directories (or their subdirs) for a small set of users:
# sed 's/ has no .*//' /nobackupnfs2/mhanafi/nbp9_ost_scan/nbp9.no_stripe_files.out.after_lfsck | xargs -d '\n' ls -l | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c
ls: cannot access /nobackupp9/jchang/newfile: No such file or directory

It also looks like the recovered files sill lost ACL information. Is it expected that lfsck is unable to recover those attributes?
