There is actually an admin tool (pvfs2-rm-object) that does what Kevin
described (used for testing pvfs2-fsck mainly). That can be used to get
rid of each handle/object in the file, but that would still leave a
directory entry to get rid of...
Does pvfs2-rm not remove the entire file? It may be easier to tweak
pvfs2-rm to continue in your case (if it doesn't already) to clear it out.

I'm not saying this is sanctioned or a good idea but pvfs2-fsck.c uses
the PVFS_mgmt_remove_object interface.

Assuming you know the handle, you could write a small code to delete it.

Hey guys,
We have a particular file on our 12 node file system that is giving us
some problems. A /bin/ls and pvfs2-ls both return the correct file
listing, but adding a -l option to both of those return with ENOENT
"No such file or directory". All of the utilities that do a getattr on
the file fail. One of the twelve servers is reporting this error:
PVFS2: [E] TROVE:DBPF:Berkeley DB: DB->get: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching
key/data pair found
How do we go about removing this file so that we can recreate it? We
cannot run an fsck on the entire file system, so we need a way to
remove just this file.
Thanks,
Bart.
