Eric,so i take it the "repaired" database allowed the pvfs2-server to start? Based on this it looks like perhaps it suffered a fatal error soon after since pvfs2-fsck command could not connect to it. What does teh pvfs-2 server log say?

Kevin,Hi, I have done what you have said and repeated the db_dump and db_load.The db_verify of dataspace_attributes.db produces no errors and the pvfs2-server starts with no errors. Unfortunately, the clients can't seem to communicate with the servers after mounting:>>> /share/apps/pvfs-2.8.1/bin/pvfs2-fsck -v -m /mnt/pvfs2[E 15:20:09.068943] job_time_mgr_expire: job time out: cancelling bmi operation, job_id: 12.

Eric Kevin Harms wrote:Eric,I'm not sure what is wrong with your .db exactly but to use db_load, it needs to be modified to add the keys back in the correct "sorted" order. Where "sorted" means in the order PVFS expects. You need to modify db_load.c to something like this:if ((ret = dbp->set_bt_compare(dbp, PINT_trove_dbpf_ds_attr_compare)) != 0) {dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->set_bt_compare"); goto err; }Then paste the PINT_trove_dbpf_ds_attr_compare function and associated data structure definitions into the db_load.c source as well. You should get the db_load.c from your particular version of bdb you're using.kevin On Feb 8, 2010, at 7:16 PM, Eric J. Walter wrote:Hi,I have a problem starting up an I/O node. It is one of 3 servers thatwe run v2.8.1 onover Inifiniband. It is not used for metadata. After a finding a filewhichhad '?--?--?' like permissions, I decided to restart the pvfs serversand remount all of the clients. Now, one of the three I/O nodes can't start it's pvfs2-server. The other two start correctly. Here is the server log from the problem server: [D 02/08 19:40] PVFS2 Server version 2.8.1 starting.

Reading through thepreviousmailing lists discussions, I found that running db_recover on the .db files (after backing them up) could be helpful. The only .db file whichhas any problems with verify isdataspace_attributes.db on the problem I/O node. Here is what it reports:# db_verify -o dataspace_attributes.dbdb_verify: Page 865: item 57 of unrecognizable type db_verify: Page 865: gap between items at offset 1376 db_verify: Page 865: item order check unsafe: skippingdb_verify: DB->verify: dataspace_attributes.db: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Databaseverification failed So I tried db_recover -v in the same directory and in the directory above (I am not sure where to run it) and all I get is: db_recover: Finding last valid log LSN: file: 1 offset 28 and a small binary file named "log.0000000001".This step seems to do nothing, i.e. the db_verify report doesn't changeafter this.I have also tried db_dump -r followed by db_load and this also does notchange the db_verify output.Is there anything else I can do except wipe the filesystem and rebuild?Thanks for any help I can get.
