Description Karthik U S 2018-08-03 10:22:07 UTC

Description of problem:

If GFID hard link creation fails while doing entry creation it will ignore it and continue with the fop. Since we depend on the hard link it will lead to failure of some other operations. For example if a file needing heal does not have the gfid link assigned to it, SHD fails to heal that entry. So it is better to delete the original file in those case.

REVIEW: https://review.gluster.org/20630 (posix: Delete the entry if gfid link creation fails) posted (#1) for review on master by Karthik U S

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/20630 committed in master by "Amar Tumballi" <amarts> with a commit message- posix: Delete the entry if gfid link creation fails

Problem:
If the gfid link file inside .glusterfs is not present for a file,
the operations which are dependent on the gfid will fail,
complaining the link file does not exists inside .glusterfs.

Fix:
If the link file creation fails, fail the entry creation operation
and delete the original file.
