Dear fellow cephers,

today we observed a somewhat worrisome inconsistency on our ceph fs. A file 
created on one host showed up as 0 length on all other hosts:

[user1@host1 h2lib]$ ls -lh
total 37M
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 user1  12K Nov  1 11:59 dll_wrapper.py

[user2@host2 h2lib]# ls -l
total 34
-rw-rw----. 1 user1 user1     0 Nov  1 11:59 dll_wrapper.py

[user1@host1 h2lib]$ cp dll_wrapper.py dll_wrapper.py.test
[user1@host1 h2lib]$ ls -l
total 37199
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 user1    11641 Nov  1 11:59 dll_wrapper.py
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 user1    11641 Nov  1 13:10 dll_wrapper.py.test

[user2@host2 h2lib]# ls -l
total 45
-rw-rw----. 1 user1 user1     0 Nov  1 11:59 dll_wrapper.py
-rw-rw----. 1 user1 user1 11641 Nov  1 13:10 dll_wrapper.py.test

Executing a sync on all these hosts did not help. However, deleting the 
problematic file and replacing it with a copy seemed to work around the issue. 
We saw this with ceph kclients of different versions, it seems to be on the MDS 
side.

How can this happen and how dangerous is it?

There is no health issue:

    health: HEALTH_WARN
            3 pgs not deep-scrubbed in time

  io:

The inconsistency seems undiagnosed, I couldn't find anything interesting in 
the cluster log. What should I look for and where?

I moved the folder to another location for diagnosis. Unfortunately, I don't 
have 2 clients any more showing different numbers, I see a 0 length now 
everywhere for the moved folder. I'm pretty sure though that the file still is 
non-zero length.

Thanks for any pointers.
