[Gluster-users] "Structure needs cleaning" error

[Patrick Haley]

Hi,

We have recently upgraded our gluster to 3.2.5 and have
encountered the following error.  Gluster seems somehow
confused about one of the files it should be serving up,
specifically
/projects/philex/PE/2010/Oct18/arch07/BalbacFull_250_200_03Mar_3.png

If I go to that directory and simply do an ls *.png I get

ls: BalbacFull_250_200_03Mar_3.png: Structure needs cleaning

(along with a listing of the remaining *.png files)

I know which brick that file resides and if I go to
that brick and look at that file via the underlying nfs,
it is fine.  I had thought this might be a case of
bad meta-pointers, but there are no such pointers on the
other bricks.  In our gluster log file I see the
following error repeated

[2012-02-24 13:58:15.507390] E [client3_1-fops.c:2228:client3_1_lookup_cbk]
0-gdata-client-2: remote operation failed: Structure needs cleaning

[2012-02-24 13:58:15.507501] W [fuse-bridge.c:184:fuse_entry_cbk]
0-glusterfs-fuse: 176567027: LOOKUP()
/projects/philex/PE/2010/Oct18/arch07/BalbacFull_250_200_03Mar_3.png => -1
(Structure needs cleaning)

How do we fix this? Especially in general, since I don't
know if there are other files in with this error, this is
just the only one we have found so far.  Currently this
error is causing our back-up to fail.

Thanks.
