Re: File corrupting on Xsan



Hello

I tried cvfsck, and it didn't report any errors or do much of anything (that I could see).

I reinstalled Xsan 1.1 on another controller and it is now hosted by 1.1 (and the last 1.2 controller is down and ready to be reinstalled)

But I still see this weird file corruption and file confusion...

Double clicking on a QuickTime movie gives me a dialog box that this is file that QuickTime does not understand, and trying a PDF tells me that it is a file "used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened". But both of these files are accessible through an AFP re-share of the Xsan volume.

Strange. And discomforting.

:(

Hi Again,

Today I've noticed a new problem which is getting worse, files apparently corrupting themselves on Xsan.

This is very strange, and I've never seen this on my Xsan before, but it is staring me in the face right now.... Renders, movie files, image files, everything is either now opening or being opened by an app and then being corrupted (eg. half an image).

I am investigating, and I am going to finish un-installing 1.2 on the clients and re-installing 1.1 (it's about half and half right now), as well as I think I will reinstall 1.1 on the controllers. But I will try to do a series of non-destructive, less invasive troubleshooting procedures first (like rebooting everything!!).
