Anyway, curious if anybody has insights here. We've done a fair amount of poking around, to no avail. I don't think there's any way to get the blocks back, as they definitely seem to be gone, and file recovery on Linux seems pretty iffy. I'm mostly interested in figuring out if this is a known issue ("Of course you can't change the server names and expect it to work"), or whether it's a symptom of lurking NDFS bugs.
It's hard to tell, after the fact, whether stuff like this is pilot error or a bug. Others have reported similar things, so it's either a bug or it's too easy to make pilot errors. So something needs to change. But what?
We need to start testing stuff like this systematically. A reproducible test case would make this much easier to diagnose.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm sorry you lost data. Doug
