[Ocfs2-users] Errors about a hole in an inode, not fixed by fsck.ocfs2

Hi all,

Using:  RHEL 6 / DRBD 8.3.10-2 kmod from ElRepo / OCFS2 compiled from
Redhat's kernel source 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.x86_64

I have a system running DRBD with OCFS2.  The OCFS2 filesystem is not
being used for databases.  I had a split-brain due to
RHEL6's /etc/init.d/iptables script.  Immediately after the split-brain
the OCFS2 filesystem started giving errors and they came in pretty fast.
I recovered from the split-brain manually, but that didn't stop the
messages.  Rebooting, switching primary nodes, fsck.ocfs2, all didn't
work... the messages still came in fast.  I finally had to find out what
that inode was pointing to and remove it before the messages stopped.

>From looking through the archives, I guess it's due to there being a
hole in the inode from the sparse filesystem?  But I don't know why it's
complaining about it, and I don't know why fsck.ocfs2 couldn't fix it.

Here's the errors I got:
Apr 18 07:53:07 server-2 kernel: (8163,0):ocfs2_read_virt_blocks:853

Any clues?

Thanks,
Herman
