[LU-5767] LFSCK 3: replace LFSCK RPC with normal OUT RPC to create orphan parent on remote MDT

Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:11:18 +0000

When the namespace LFSCK tries to repair the missing name entry, means inserting the lost name entry back to its parent directory, it may find that the parent MDT-object is also lost. Under such case, the namespace LFSCK will firstly create the missing parent MDT-object as an orphan and insert into the .lustre/lost+found/MDTxxxx/ directory with the name:

${FID}-P-${conflict_version}.

Then insert the lost name entry into the orphan parent according to the MDT-object's linkEA.

Currently, the namespace LFSCK uses LFSCK RPC to handle the case of creating orphan parent MDT-object on remote MDT. It is not the normal way for cross-MDTs modification that usually will be handled via OUT RPC. Please refer to the comment on gerrit for more discussion:
