[Moosefs-users] Reserved files remain forever

[Flow J. <fl...@gm...>]

Hi,

Just found another issue. I cleared about 10000 reserved files with the 
script provided at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3104619&group_id=228631&atid=1075722 
yesterday, and this morning I had 0 reserved file when started working.

However, after one day development activity with 6 workstations, now we 
have 204 reserved files not deleted. I've noticed it's stated that "Each 
session after two hours is automatically closed and all the files are 
released." in above link, but seems it's not happening in our 
environment. We have CentOS 5.5 x86 servers and run mfsmount on Fedora 
12 x64 workstations. Both servers and workstations run mfs 1.6.19. And 
mfs is serving as home with read / write access.

Here are some example of the reserved files by reading the metadata:

00067856|UserHome|tompan|.mozilla|firefox|mk9e32d7.default|OfflineCache|index.sqlite-journal 

00067857|UserHome|tompan|.mozilla|firefox|mk9e32d7.default|OfflineCache|index.sqlite-journal 


Most of the 204 reserved files look like temp / journal files.

Any ideas about the cause of the issue?

BTW, OpenOffice fails to start if MFS serves as home directory. It 
should be a FS bug as stated on: 
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=113207. Would it be 
related to the issue above? And can we fix this OOo issue?

Many Thanks
Flow
