Hi,

Not sure if it is related at all, but there is a known bug with mfsmetarestore, take a look here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=045c01cbe3e6%249a511760%24cef34620%24%40borychowski%40gemius.pl&forum_name=moosefs-users

You may want to try the suggested workaround,

Regards,
Boyko
