Hi all, we are at the moment experiencing irregular out-of-sync blocks on our highly loaded system with the nightly drbd verify jobs. Disconnect/connect does swiftly put the devices back into a correct state. Still I would like to investigate the issue and find out what files are concerned by the out of sync blocks. Is it possible to translate the information about the start of the out of sync area from the log into ext4 filesystem blocks (4 KiB)? Is it maybe simply "(sectors=512 Byte) / (ext4 block size=4096 Byte)"? ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=22378360, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=49621128, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=49866632, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=53905280, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=53913616, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=56035192, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=56134280, size=8 (sectors) ... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=56238448, size=8 (sectors) When calculating with a ratio of 512/4096 = 1/8 debugfs returned, that all out of sync blocks are unused for the case I just investigated. This would be the answer I mostly appreciate. ;) Looking forward for an answer, even if to correct my assumptions.
