[HPDD-discuss] lustre recovery due n/w issues

Hello, Few questions. http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-manual/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact... A] Network failures may be transient. To _*avoid invoking recovery_*, the client tries, initially, to re-send any _timed out_ request to the server. -- What timeout is it referring to ? /proc/fs/lustre/timeout (obd_timeout)? OR -- The _time_ after target disconnect (due to transient n/w issues) and before the recovery starts for obd_timeout period? - Do we have this _time_ defined anywhere ? IIRC in above scenario the recovery hasn't kicked in yet. Thus the client hasn't been evicted either. Please correct me? -- Can you point to the source, for above please ? B] If the resend also fails, the client tries to re-establish a connection to the server. *"_Clients can detect harmless partition upon reconnect if the server has not had any reason to evict the client._ " * -- How _*Clients can detect harmless partition upon reconnect_ * ? Can you point to the source, for above please ? --What does resend above refer to - requests committed to sever but w/o any replies seen by client OR new requests with trans no higher than last_recvd OR something else? Thanks for your time. -- cheers Akam
