We are currently running OrangeFS 2.8.7 on RHEL 6.4.

We currently have a user who has 72 files in one directory.   All are okay 
except one file that shows up like this in the directory listing:

?????????? ? ?    ?             ?            ?   DataFile218

I assume this is corrupted metadata??  Any attempt to access this file with 
utilities like pvfs2-stat or pvfs2-validate report "no such file or directory". 
  Is there a way to recover this file or remove it?   I am tempted to run 
pvfs2-fsck but I can not find any documentation on it.  This is an active 
filesystem.  Would I need to stop all client access in order to run pvfs2-fsck 
and how long would it take?    This is a 146TB filesystem with 11TB in use.

Any advise on fixing this problem would be appreciated.
