Description

Error happens on cluster lola during soak testing of build 20150527 (see https://wiki.hpdd.intel.com/pages/viewpage.action?title=Soak+Testing+on+Lola&spaceKey=Releases#SoakTestingonLola-20150527).

Creating directory inside a directory that had been created as remote and striped directory and default stripe enabled, failed for non-root users:

[soaktest@lola-21 test]$ pwd
/mnt/soaked/soaktest/test
[soaktest@lola-21 test]$ lfs setdirstripe -i 2 -c 5 parent
[soaktest@lola-21 test]$ lfs setdirstripe -i 2 -c 5 -D parent
[soaktest@lola-21 test]$ mkdir parent/child-0
mkdir: cannot create directory `parent/child-0': Object is remote
[soaktest@lola-21 test]$ lfs getdirstripe -r parent
parent
lmv_stripe_count: 5 lmv_stripe_offset: 2
mdtidx           FID[seq:oid:ver]

This works well for user root:

[root@lola-21 ~]# cd /mnt/soaked/soaktest/test/
[root@lola-21 test]# ls
blogbench  iorfpp  iorssf  kcompile  mdtestfpp  mdtestssf  parent  racer  simul
[root@lola-21 test]# lfs setdirstripe -i 2 -c 5 parrent-root
[root@lola-21 test]# lfs setdirstripe -i 2 -c 5 -D parrent-root
[root@lola-21 test]# mkdir parrent-root/child-0
[root@lola-21 test]# lfs getdirstripe -r parrent-root

remote dirs and remote gid parameters have been set for all MDTs:

This is a regression that had been fixed in previous patch already.
Ticket is a blocker as all test (slurm) jobs fail using remote striping.
