[Moosefs-users] Lost all metadata on master w/ full disk

[Nolan E. <no...@ea...>]

I have a little server setup to give MooseFS a try. This server ran
out of disk space on its root partition a day or two ago. This
partition is where mfsmaster stored all of its data. Needless to say,
mfsmaster did something dumb and zeroed out all the metadata files
under /var/lib/mfs. It even looks like the metadata logger on another
machine was affected since it didn't store anything recoverable.

So my entire moosefs file tree is completely hosed now, all because
mfsmaster can't handle a full disk.

Other than this, I've been happy with MooseFS.

Regards,
Nolan
