[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2_encode_fh:152 ERROR: fh buffer is too small for encoding

[Sunil Mushran]

I doubt the two issues are related. I cannot see how unable to encode an 
nfs filehandle
can lead to a file corruption. Having said that, I am puzzled by that 
error. Is this is
one time thing or more often. If so, we could provide you with a debug 
version that will
dump more info.

As far as the corruption goes, I was to confirm that this is a file data 
corruption and not
a file system corruption? Do you know what the corruption is? Has anyone 
analyzed the data?
