From: "Chris Worley" Subject: File has different contents on different clients Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 15:55:27 -0600 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Return-path: To: NFS@lists.sourceforge.net List-Id: "Discussion of NFS under Linux development, interoperability, and testing." List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net I'm using NFS on a cluster, and one file seems to keep getting different contents on different NFS clients, while having the proper attributes on all clients: Here, the user queries all clients and greps for a value in the file: bash-3.00$ pbs2pdsh 21647 grep n_pess /...PATH.../par | dshbak -c ---------------- c-21-[01,04,06-07,09-11,16,18-20,22-30],c-22-[01-30],c-23-[01-04,06-27,29-30],c-24-[01-04,06-30],c-26-[01-30],c-27-[01-30],c-28-[01-30],c-29-[01-30],c-30-[01-12,14-17,19] ---------------- n_pess = 4 ---------------- c-23-05,c-30-18 ---------------- n_pess = 8 Most clients see the proper value of "4", two clients see the old value of "8". But, all clients show the same modification time on the file: [root@hn ~]# pdsh -a ls -l /...PATH/par | dshbak -c ---------------- c-21-[01-30],c-22-[01-30],c-23-[01-27,29-30],c-24-[01-04,06-30],c-26-[01-30],c-27-[01-30],c-28-[01-30],c-29-[01-30],c-30-[01-12,14-19] ---------------- -rw-r--r-- 1 anaraiki anaraiki 753 Aug 19 13:52 /...PATH.../par The checksum is also different on many clients: [root@hn ~]# pdsh -a sum /...PATH.../par | dshbak -c ---------------- c-21-[01,04,06-07,09-11,16-30],c-22-[01-30],c-23-[01-04,06-27,29-30],c-24-[01-04,06-30],c-26-[01-30],c-27-[01-30],c-28-[01-30],c-29-[01-30],c-30-[01-12,14-17,19] ---------------- 27851 1 ---------------- c-21-[02-03,05,08,12-15],c-23-05,c-30-18 ---------------- 44233 1 If I "touch" the file... all clients get back in sync. This is the second time it's happend to the same file, but different NFS clients got out of sync. We're running a 2.6.9-22 kernel w/ RHEL4U2. Any ideas?
