I upgraded the server to 2.3 Dec 10th 2009. The 10 new clients are
running 2.3 and seem unaffected, all others are 2.2 clients(windows).
Again they are logging their hash changes etc to the server while they
are connected, but they are cycling through being connected and not
connected (no network issues for the server or clients, up time is
100% from a network and OS level.) I'm not sure if nagios is checking
inodes, can 50gig's (out of 100G) of inodes have something happen to
them? The server is running Ext3 if it matters raid10, I don't know
this is a bit out my depth now. It's just all so coincidental to have
happen all at midnight new years, stranger things have happened I
suppose.
I'll try running in debug, and I'll try to add a new 2.2 test client
and see if the issue is truly isolated to 2.2 clients, or simply to
clients that were connected before 1/1/2010 for us.
