Here is my current lustre version for testing:
# cat /proc/fs/lustre/version
lustre: 2.6.92
kernel: patchless_client
I've noticed that my changelog records look a lot like generated inodes. From a
changelog entry:
[0x200000bd2:0x13a:0x0]
And from ls -i on a lustre client:
144115238843711802 (0x200000BD200013A)
This is nice, if I split the inode number into the sequence and oid numbers
(ignoring the version for now) I can use this in calls like
lfs fid2path
Will I always be able to do this with 64 bit inodes that I get with calls like
ls -i on a lustre client?
If not, then is it accurate to say that at any point in time, for each unique
file in a lustre file system, there is only one FID=[seq:oid:ver] that can be
used to generate a unique 64 bit inode for clients (even if the value of the
inode does not map backwards like the example above)?
