Re: [MooseFS-Users] Missing Files Error

[Jay L. <jl...@sl...>]

Hi all,

I am happy to report that this problem resolved itself.  All data was
there, and it just took another automatic MFS filesystem check loop to
identify that the blocks were not actually missing. (e.g. I did nothing and
MFS just fixed itself.) Awesome!
