[Ocfs2-users] orphan nodes

[Luben Karavelov]

Hello,

I have some minor problems with a production system here. Every 30 minutes
I get messages like that on every connected OCFS2 node:

(ocfs2_wq,446,2):ocfs2_query_inode_wipe:923 ERROR: Inode 212194282
(on-disk 212194282) not orphaned! Disk flags  0x9, inode flags 0x20
(ocfs2_wq,446,2):ocfs2_delete_inode:1053 ERROR: status = -17
(ocfs2_wq,446,2):ocfs2_query_inode_wipe:923 ERROR: Inode 212194387

(ocfs2_wq,446,2):ocfs2_delete_inode:1053 ERROR: status = -17

I have traced the blocks to deleted files and I see them i 2 different
orphan_dirs :

So my question: Is there a way to fix this issue without fsck? Here, a
typical run of fsck is 32-36 hours for a half full 3T fs, so it is not an
option for a production system.

On all nodes the system is running linux-2.6.34 

Here is the ocfs2 enabled features: sparse inline-data unwritten

Installed ocfs2-tools are v1.4.3 but I could install another version (also
from git repository)

Thanks in advance for any suggestion
