    Description

      Hello,

      Current for stripe dir, if 1 MDT is damaged, the whole dir cannot be accessed. We would like to change/improve the implementation to allow access to partial of the stripe dir on undamaged MDTs.

      use case:
      DIR1 cross 4 MDTs, one of the MDT (Not MDT0) is damaged
      1. Create DIR1 as a striped dir cross all 4 MDTs
      2. Umount MDT1
      3. Data on other undamaged MDT should be accessible

            Lai,
            I think this problem of accessing a directory with offline stripes is already fixed? Is there already a test for this? If yes, then this should be linked to the patch that fixed the problem.

            If not, then test could do something like:

            • create striped directory
            • create 100 files in it
            • "lfs getstripe -m" all entries to determine which MDT each file is on
            • take one MDT offline
            • "ls -l" directory to check that entries for online MDTs are still available
            • verify that none of the offline entries are listed
            • verify that "ls -l' returns an error at the end
            • take MDT online
            • verify that all files are accessible again.
