Two different clients can write delta's for totl indexes at the same time, recording their changes. When merged, a reader should apply both in order, and only once. To do so, the seq determines whether the delta has been applied already. The code fails to update the seq while walking the trees for deltas to apply. Subsequently, when processing subsequent trees, it could re-process deltas already applied. In case of a large negative delta (e.g. removal of large amounts of files), the totl value could become negative, resulting in quota lockout. The fix is simple: advance the seq when reading partial delta merges to avoid double counting. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke.kok@versity.com>
Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
