Fixed In Version: glusterfs-3.4.0.69rhs
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, if a file was linked by one client and removed by another, the subsequent lookup operation from the first client would not override the cache in the absence of the unlinked name on the bricks, leading it to conclude that the file name exists. With this fix, the stale inode mapping is deleted when the lookup operation fails with the ENOENT error in the first client.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):3.4.0.59rhs


How reproducible: always

Hi Kruthika,

Can you please review the edited doc text for technical accuracy and sign off?

Comment 9 Krutika Dhananjay 2014-10-29 05:03:18 UTC
<pavithra>

Previously, if a file was linked with one client and removed using another, the subsequent lookup operation from the first client would not override the cache in the absence of the unlinked name on the bricks, leading it to conclude that the file name exists. With this fix, the stale inode mapping is deleted when the lookup operation fails with the ENOENT error in the first client.

1) I think the first sentence should be 'Previously, if a file was linked *by* one client and removed *by* another, ...'

The rest looks good to me.

Comment 10 Krutika Dhananjay 2014-10-29 05:04:27 UTC
Not sure how the "requires_doc_text" flag got reset with my previous update. Setting it back to '?'.

Comment 11 Pavithra 2014-10-29 05:55:16 UTC
I've moved back the "requires_doc_text" to + since I've worked on it. 

And Krutika,
I've made the change you suggested. 
Thank you

Comment 12 Krutika Dhananjay 2014-10-29 05:58:28 UTC
@Pavithra: Looks good to me.

Comment 13 Pavithra 2014-10-29 06:08:52 UTC
Changing the "requires_doc_text" back to +
