+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #679565 +++ Crosswrite to RHEL6 Description of problem: If you have a large enough directory, gfs2_edit savemeta won't save all of its leaf blocks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL56 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkfs.gfs2 -O -t bobs_roth:roth_lv -p lock_dlm -j 4 /dev/roth_vg/roth_lv 2. mount -tgfs2 /dev/roth_vg/roth_lv /mnt/gfs2 3. mkdir /mnt/gfs2/bigdir 4. for i in `seq 1 543562` ; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i bs=4K count=3 &>/dev/null; done 5. umount /mnt/gfs2 6. gfs2_edit savemeta /dev/roth_vg/roth_lv halfamillion12Kfiles.meta 7. gfs2_edit printsavedmeta halfamillion12Kfiles.meta > /tmp/gronk 8. grep "directory leaf" /tmp/gronk | wc -l Actual results: 0 Expected results: 10214 Additional info: Patch in hand --- Additional comment from rpeterso on 2011-02-22 16:22:25 EST --- Requesting ack flags for 5.7.

Created attachment 490835 [details] RHEL6 patch Ran into this bug while working on a customer critsit, so I had to crosswrite the patch. So here it is. Verified it on RHEL6 system gfs-i24c-01.
Patch 0ce6e00 was pushed to the RHEL6 branch of the cluster.git tree for inclusion into 6.2. Changing status to POST until this gets built.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause A user performs the command "gfs2_edit savemeta" to save off the metadata for a target GFS2 file system. However, not all of the directory information is saved for large directories. If the metadata is restored to another device, fsck.gfs2 will find directory corruption due to missing leaf blocks. Consequence The bug was caused because gfs2_edit was treating the directory leaf index (known as the directory hash table) like it did a normal data file. In other words, a collection of metadata blocks. For a normal data file gfs2_edit needs to save only the metadata blocks, but not the user's data blocks. For a directory, gfs2_edit needs to save the "data" because the "data" blocks are the actual directory hash table, and the blocks beneath it are the directory leaf blocks that also need to be saved. Fix The fix was to change gfs2_edit's savemeta function to actually read all the data (i.e. the directory hash table) for large directories and traverse the hash table, saving all the leaf blocks. Result With the directory hash table processed properly, all leaf blocks are saved properly.
The original commit landed at the wrong time and I had to revert/reapply. New sha1 is: 258fd452647c6210e68f9528c723e3a49d77dbfa
