[PVFS-users] meta server and io servers out of sync

[Hale, Darrian J]

Hello,

We had a NIC on one of our io servers fail.  At that time data was being
written to the filesystem (and seemingly to the io server that went down).
We replaced the NIC and got the filesystem back up.

Now it looks like we have a corrupt/missing file on the io server, and the
meta server still thinks that file is ok.

On a client that has the filesystem mounted I cannot
stat/touch/delete/move/anything the file in question.

Is the solution to this problem to just delete the file from the meta
server?  If I do this wont I lose some useable blocks on the io server?  Is
there a better way?

Also is there a way to tell by looking at the files in the meta server,
which io server the data resides on?

Thanks, Darrian
