Hello, I have some problems in my filesystem. When I browse the filesystem from a client, a specific directory have directories that contain the same directories, in other words: LustreFS-> dir A -> dir B -> dir B -> dir B -> dir B -> dir B… This directory, and its children, has the same obdidx/objid: [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# lfs getstripe vm-106-disk-1.raw vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw lmm_stripe_count: 1 lmm_stripe_size: 1048576 lmm_pattern: 1 lmm_layout_gen: 0 lmm_stripe_offset: 19 obdidx objid objid group 19 7329413 0x6fd685 0 [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# cd vm-106-disk-1.raw/ [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# pwd /mnt/data/106/GNUSparseFile.2227/vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# lfs getstripe vm-106-disk-1.raw vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw lmm_stripe_count: 1 lmm_stripe_size: 1048576 lmm_pattern: 1 lmm_layout_gen: 0 lmm_stripe_offset: 19 obdidx objid objid group 19 7329413 0x6fd685 0 [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# cd vm-106-disk-1.raw/ [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# pwd /mnt/data/106/GNUSparseFile.2227/vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw [root@client vm-106-disk-1.raw]# lfs getstripe vm-106-disk-1.raw vm-106-disk-1.raw/vm-106-disk-1.raw lmm_stripe_count: 1 lmm_stripe_size: 1048576 lmm_pattern: 1 lmm_layout_gen: 0 lmm_stripe_offset: 19 obdidx objid objid group 19 7329413 0x6fd685 0 But when I mount the MDT with “Ldiskfs” I can see correctly the filesystem in the “ROOT” mdt directory. I wish to remove from the client this looped directory (dir B in the example), but when I try to remove I get a “kernel panic" in the MDS/MGS. is it a good idea remove a subdirectory in the MDT (with Ldiskfs mounted) in the “ROOT” mdt directory or I will get orphan objects in the OST, if I remove this directory in the MDT? Thanks!!!
