Issue #2962 has been updated by benjolitz.
After discussing with Matt Dillon on the IRC channel, I've decided to copy the master's files to an adjacent drive, then dump the master/slave metadatas and finally destroy/recreate both master and slave HAMMER filesystems. Results of the metadata will be posted here when my backup is complete. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2962: Hammer PFS Slave has broken symbolic link, recreating it doesn't work http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2962#change-13025 * Author: benjolitz * Status: New * Priority: High * Assignee: * Category: VFS subsystem * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I setup mirroring as described in this document - https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/how_to_implement_hammer_pseudo_file_system__40___pfs___41___slave_mirroring_from_pfs_master/ I've experienced several power failures and I've noticed that one of my mirrored backups no longer works for resolving it's symbolic link. If I destroy the errored pfs (tv) and recreate it via hammer pfs-slave, the symbolic link still doesn't work. Console output: nyx# file /Archive2Backup/pfs/* /Archive2Backup/pfs/movies: symbolic link to @@0x0000000108a74b20:00001 /Archive2Backup/pfs/tv: broken symbolic link to @@0x0000000100058744:00002 nyx# hammer pfs-status /Archive2Backup/pfs/tv /Archive2Backup/pfs/tv PFS #2 { sync-beg-tid=0x0000000000000001 sync-end-tid=0x0000000100058744 shared-uuid=816cf516-5783-11e6-8627-d150991a2d92 unique-uuid=67a8792c-9e2a-11e6-8958-d150991a2d92 label="" prune-min=00:00:00 operating as a SLAVE snapshots directory defaults to /var/hammer/<pfs> } nyx# hammer pfs-status /Archive2Backup/pfs/movies /Archive2Backup/pfs/movies PFS #1 { sync-beg-tid=0x0000000000000001 sync-end-tid=0x0000000108a74ba0 shared-uuid=7bef50aa-5783-11e6-8627-d150991a2d92 unique-uuid=1f30e13b-5784-11e6-8627-d150991a2d92 label="" prune-min=00:00:00 operating as a SLAVE snapshots directory defaults to /var/hammer/<pfs> } nyx# ls /Archive2Backup/@@0x0000000108a74d20:00001 .DS_Store ._.DS_Store <snip> nyx# nyx# ls /Archive2Backup/@@0x0000000100058744:00002 ls: /Archive2Backup/@@0x0000000100058744:00002: No such file or directory The symlink is updated as per hammer mirror-copy/hammer mirror-stream. I simply cannot mount_null, list files or do anything on this PFS. Destroy/Recreate does nothing. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
