Could you please advise?

Is there a particular workload being run that triggers this problem?

[Haisong Cai (Inactive)]

= No particular workload was running but the file-system was in
production when the bug appeared.
We did notice MDS system load was relatively high, hovering between
10 and 30.

= We decided failover to standby MDS when the file-system became
sluggish. After about 7 hours, the standby MDS crashed. No LU-617 logged.

= This morning we brought back the MDS from crash and in the first hour,
it logged 5 instances of LU-617.

= Another thing to note is, our clients are running 2.5.* client. Not
for particular reason, but admin of the cluster thought it was the
latest release.

thanks,
Haisong

Is there any client running older version rather than 2.5.*?

[Haisong Cai (Inactive)]

Hi Yawei,

Yes we are running both 1.8.9 (a few of them) and 2.5.3 clients.

thanks,
Haisong

LU-617 was fixed in 2.1.2, I suggest you upgrade your client to 2.1.2 or later.

[Niu Yawei (Inactive)]

Upgrade legacy clients to later version (2.1.2 above) can fix the problem.
