  20         <para>When an OSS, MDS, or MGS server crash occurs, it is not necessary to run e2fsck on the
  21             file system. <literal>ldiskfs</literal> journaling ensures that the file system remains
  22             consistent over a system crash. The backing file systems are never accessed directly
  23             from the client, so client crashes are not relevant for server file system
  24             consistency.</para>
  25         <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 &quot;-30&quot; (<literal>EROFS</literal>) in the syslogs on the server, e.g.:</para>
  26         <screen>Dec 29 14:11:32 mookie kernel: LDISKFS-fs error (device sdz):
  27             ldiskfs_lookup: unlinked inode 5384166 in dir #145170469
  28 Dec 29 14:11:32 mookie kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only</screen>
  29         <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>
  30         <para>In the vast majority of cases, the Lustre software can cope with any inconsistencies
  31             found on the disk and between other devices in the file system.</para>
  32         <note>
  33             <para>The offline LFSCK tool included with e2fsprogs is rarely required for Lustre file
  34                 system operation.</para>
  35         </note>
  36         <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>
  37         <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>
  38         <para>To address concern about whether corruption is real or only due to the journal not
  39             being replayed, you can briefly mount and unmount the <literal>ldiskfs</literal> file
  40             system directly on the node with the Lustre file system stopped, using a command similar
  41             to:</para>
  42         <screen>mount -t ldiskfs /dev/{ostdev} /mnt/ost; umount /mnt/ost</screen>
  43         <para>This causes the journal to be recovered.</para>
  44         <para>The <literal>e2fsck</literal> utility works well when fixing file system corruption
  45             (better than similar file system recovery tools and a primary reason why
  46                 <literal>ldiskfs</literal> was chosen over other file systems). However, it is often
  47             useful to identify the type of damage that has occurred so an <literal>ldiskfs</literal>
  48             expert can make intelligent decisions about what needs fixing, in place of

  81         <para>One problem encountered in a Lustre file system environment is
  82             when an OST becomes unavailable due to a network partition, OSS node crash, etc. When
  83             this happens, the OST&apos;s clients pause and wait for the OST to become available
  84             again, either on the primary OSS or a failover OSS. When the OST comes back online, the
  85             Lustre file system starts a recovery process to enable clients to reconnect to the OST.
  86             Lustre servers put a limit on the time they will wait in recovery for clients to
  87             reconnect.</para>
  88         <para>During recovery, clients reconnect and replay their requests serially, in the same order they were done originally. Until a client receives a confirmation that a given transaction has been written to stable storage, the client holds on to the transaction, in case it needs to be replayed. Periodically, a progress message prints to the log, stating how_many/expected clients have reconnected. If the recovery is aborted, this log shows how many clients managed to reconnect. 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>
  89         <para>If some clients fail to replay their requests during the recovery period, this will not stop the recovery from completing. You may have a situation where the OST recovers, but some clients are not able to participate in recovery (e.g. network problems or client failure), so they are evicted and their requests are not replayed. 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. The lost transactions are an unfortunate result of the recovery process.</para>
  90         <note>
  91             <para>The failure of client recovery does not indicate or lead to
  92             filesystem corruption.  This is a normal event that is handled by
  93             the MDT and OST, and should not result in any inconsistencies
  94             between servers.</para>

  96         <note>
  97             <para>The version-based recovery (VBR) feature enables a failed client to be &apos;&apos;skipped&apos;&apos;, so remaining clients can replay their requests, resulting in a more successful recovery from a downed OST. For more information about the VBR feature, see <xref linkend="lustrerecovery"/>(Version-based Recovery).</para>

 102         <para>LFSCK is an administrative tool introduced in Lustre software release 2.3 for checking
 103             and repair of the attributes specific to a mounted Lustre file system. It is similar in
 104             concept to an offline fsck repair tool for a local filesystem,
 105             but LFSCK is implemented to run as part of the Lustre file system while the file
 106             system is mounted and in use. This allows consistency of checking and repair by the
 107             Lustre software without unnecessary downtime, and can be run on the largest Lustre file
 108             systems.</para>
 109         <para>In Lustre software release 2.3, LFSCK can verify and repair the Object Index (OI)
 110             table that is used internally to map Lustre File Identifiers (FIDs) to MDT internal
 111             inode numbers, through a process called OI Scrub. An OI Scrub is required after
 112             restoring from a file-level MDT backup (<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50438207_71633"/>), or
 113             in case the OI table is otherwise corrupted. Later phases of LFSCK will add further

 117         <para condition='l26'>In Lustre software release 2.6, LFSCK layout scanning can verify and repair MDT-OST file layout inconsistency. File layout inconsistencies between MDT-objects and OST-objects that are checked and corrected include dangling reference, unreferenced OST-objects, mismatched references and multiple references.
