- <title>27.1 Recovering from Errors or <anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_marker-1292184" xreflabel=""/>Corruption on a Backing File System</title>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291241" xreflabel=""/>When an OSS, MDS, or MGS server crash occurs, it is not necessary to run e2fsck on the file system. ldiskfs journaling ensures that the file system remains coherent. The backing file systems are never accessed directly from the client, so client crashes are not relevant.</para>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291243" xreflabel=""/>The only time it is REQUIRED that e2fsck be run on a device is when an event causes problems that ldiskfs journaling is unable to handle, such as a hardware device failure or I/O error. If the ldiskfs kernel code detects corruption on the disk, it mounts the file system as read-only to prevent further corruption, but still allows read access to the device. This appears as error "-30" (EROFS) in the syslogs on the server, e.g.:</para>

- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291305" xreflabel=""/>In such a situation, it is normally required that e2fsck only be run on the bad device before placing the device back into service.</para>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291245" xreflabel=""/>In the vast majority of cases, Lustre can cope with any inconsistencies it finds on the disk and between other devices in the file system.</para>
- <note><para>lfsck is rarely required for Lustre operation.</para></note>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291249" xreflabel=""/>For problem analysis, it is strongly recommended that e2fsck be run under a logger, like script, to record all of the output and changes that are made to the file system in case this information is needed later.</para>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291251" xreflabel=""/>If time permits, it is also a good idea to first run e2fsck in non-fixing mode (-n option) to assess the type and extent of damage to the file system. The drawback is that in this mode, e2fsck does not recover the file system journal, so there may appear to be file system corruption when none really exists.</para>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291253" xreflabel=""/>To address concern about whether corruption is real or only due to the journal not being replayed, you can briefly mount and unmount the ldiskfs filesystem directly on the node with Lustre stopped (NOT via Lustre), using a command similar to:</para>
- <screen><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291255" xreflabel=""/>mount -t ldiskfs /dev/{ostdev} /mnt/ost; umount /mnt/ost
-</screen>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291257" xreflabel=""/>This causes the journal to be recovered.</para>
- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291259" xreflabel=""/>The e2fsck utility works well when fixing file system corruption (better than similar file system recovery tools and a primary reason why ldiskfs was chosen over other file systems for Lustre). However, it is often useful to identify the type of damage that has occurred so an ldiskfs expert can make intelligent decisions about what needs fixing, in place of e2fsck.</para>

- <para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50438225_pgfId-1291234" xreflabel=""/>In addition, the e2fsprogs package contains the lfsck tool, which does distributed coherency checking for the Lustre file system after e2fsck has been run. Running lfsck is NOT required in a large majority of cases, at a small risk of having some leaked space in the file system. To avoid a lengthy downtime, it can be run (with care) after Lustre is started.</para>

+ <para>When an OSS, MDS, or MGS server crash occurs, it is not necessary to run e2fsck on the
+ file system. <literal>ldiskfs</literal> journaling ensures that the file system remains
+ consistent over a system crash. The backing file systems are never accessed directly
+ from the client, so client crashes are not relevant for server file system
+ consistency.</para>
+ <para>The only time it is REQUIRED that <literal>e2fsck</literal> be run on a device is when an event causes problems that ldiskfs journaling is unable to handle, such as a hardware device failure or I/O error. If the ldiskfs kernel code detects corruption on the disk, it mounts the file system as read-only to prevent further corruption, but still allows read access to the device. This appears as error "-30" (<literal>EROFS</literal>) in the syslogs on the server, e.g.:</para>
+ <screen>Dec 29 14:11:32 mookie kernel: LDISKFS-fs error (device sdz):
+ ldiskfs_lookup: unlinked inode 5384166 in dir #145170469
+Dec 29 14:11:32 mookie kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only</screen>
+ <para>In such a situation, it is normally required that e2fsck only be run on the bad device before placing the device back into service.</para>
+ <para>In the vast majority of cases, the Lustre software can cope with any inconsistencies
+ found on the disk and between other devices in the file system.</para>
+ <note>
+ <para>The offline LFSCK tool included with e2fsprogs is rarely required for Lustre file
+ system operation.</para>
+ </note>
+ <para>For problem analysis, it is strongly recommended that <literal>e2fsck</literal> be run under a logger, like script, to record all of the output and changes that are made to the file system in case this information is needed later.</para>
+ <para>If time permits, it is also a good idea to first run <literal>e2fsck</literal> in non-fixing mode (-n option) to assess the type and extent of damage to the file system. The drawback is that in this mode, <literal>e2fsck</literal> does not recover the file system journal, so there may appear to be file system corruption when none really exists.</para>
+ <para>To address concern about whether corruption is real or only due to the journal not
+ being replayed, you can briefly mount and unmount the <literal>ldiskfs</literal> file
+ system directly on the node with the Lustre file system stopped, using a command similar
+ to:</para>
+ <screen>mount -t ldiskfs /dev/{ostdev} /mnt/ost; umount /mnt/ost</screen>
+ <para>This causes the journal to be recovered.</para>
+ <para>The <literal>e2fsck</literal> utility works well when fixing file system corruption
+ (better than similar file system recovery tools and a primary reason why
+ <literal>ldiskfs</literal> was chosen over other file systems). However, it is often

When the OST comes back online, Lustre starts a recovery process to enable clients to reconnect to the OST. Lustre servers put a limit on the time they will wait in recovery for clients to reconnect. The timeout length is determined by the obd_timeout parameter.</para>

When all clients have completed recovery, or if the recovery timeout is reached, the recovery period ends and the OST resumes normal request processing.</para>

This would result in any operations on the evicted clients failing, including in-progress writes, which would cause cached writes to be lost. This is a normal outcome; the recovery cannot wait indefinitely, or the file system would be hung any time a client failed.

+ <para>LFSCK is an administrative tool introduced in Lustre software release 2.3 for checking

+ <para>In Lustre software release 2.3, LFSCK can verify and repair the Object Index (OI)
+ table that is used internally to map Lustre File Identifiers (FIDs) to MDT internal
+ inode numbers, through a process called OI Scrub. An OI Scrub is required after
+ restoring from a file-level MDT backup (<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50438207_71633"/>), or
+ in case the OI table is otherwise corrupted. Later phases of LFSCK will add further

+ <para>Typically, the MDT will detect restoration from a file-level backup during mount. For convenience an mount option <literal>noscrub</literal> is provided for MDTs. <literal>noscrub</literal> prevents the OI Scrub starting automatically when the MDT is mounted. The administrator can start LFSCK manually after the MDT is mounted with <literal>lctl</literal>. Manually starting LFSCK after mounting provides finer control over the starting conditions.</para>
