<title>Fixing a Bad LAST_ID on an OST</title>
- <para>Each OST contains a LAST_ID file, which holds the last object (pre-)created by the MDS <footnote>
- <para>The contents of the LAST_ID file must be accurate regarding the actual objects that exist on the OST.</para>
- </footnote>. The MDT contains a lov_objid file, with values that represent the last object the MDS has allocated to a file.</para>
- <para>During normal operation, the MDT keeps some pre-created (but unallocated) objects on the OST, and the relationship between LAST_ID and lov_objid should be LAST_ID <= lov_objid. Any difference in the file values results in objects being created on the OST when it next connects to the MDS. These objects are never actually allocated to a file, since they are of 0 length (empty), but they do no harm. Creating empty objects enables the OST to catch up to the MDS, so normal operations resume.</para>
- <para>However, in the case where lov_objid < LAST_ID, bad things can happen as the MDS is not aware of objects that have already been allocated on the OST, and it reallocates them to new files, overwriting their existing contents.</para>
- <para>Here is the rule to avoid this scenario:</para>
- <para>LAST_ID >= lov_objid and LAST_ID == last_physical_object and lov_objid >= last_used_object</para>
- <para>Although the lov_objid value should be equal to the last_used_object value, the above
- rule suffices to keep the Lustre file system happy at the expense of a few leaked
- objects.</para>
- <para>In situations where there is on-disk corruption of the OST, for example caused by running with write cache enabled on the disks, the LAST_ID value may become inconsistent and result in a message similar to:</para>
- <screen>"filter_precreate()) HOME-OST0003: Serious error:
-objid 3478673 already exists; is this filesystem corrupt?"</screen>
- <para>A related situation may happen if there is a significant discrepancy between the record of previously-created objects on the OST and the previously-allocated objects on the MDS, for example if the MDS has been corrupted, or restored from backup, which may cause significant data loss if left unchecked. This produces a message like:</para>
- <screen>"HOME-OST0003: ignoring bogus orphan destroy request:

+ <para>To address this issue, you can expand the disk space on the OST,

+ files to a less full OST. For details on both of these options

+ <para condition='l26'>In some cases, there may be processes holding
+ files open that are consuming a significant amount of space (e.g.
+ runaway process writing lots of data to an open file that has been
+ deleted). It is possible to get a list of all open file handles in the
+ filesystem from the MDS:
+ <screen>
+mds# lctl get_param mdt.*.exports.*.open_files
+mdt.myth-MDT0000.exports.192.168.20.159@tcp.open_files=

+[0x20001e863:0x1c2:0x0]

+ </screen>
+ These file handles can be converted into pathnames on any client via
+ the <literal>lfs fid2path</literal> command (as root):
+ <screen>
+client# lfs fid2path /myth [0x200003ab4:0x435:0x0] [0x20001e863:0x1c1:0x0] [0x20001e863:0x1c2:0x0]

+ </screen>
+ In some cases, if the file has been deleted from the filesystem,
+ <literal>fid2path</literal> will return an error that the file is
+ not found. You can use the client NID
+ (<literal>192.168.20.159@tcp</literal> in the above example) to
+ determine which node the file is open on, and <literal>lsof</literal>
+ to find and kill the process that is holding the file open:
