XSAN Volume woes

[mcgredo]

So I upgraded to XSAN 1.4 (accidentally--hit the update software button without looking closely enough) and post-upgrade I'm having some problems. The volume Video tries to start, then I get these failures:

[0905 11:09:56] 0xa000ed98 (Info) File System Service 'Video[0]' now active on host '192.168.1.4:49466'.

.....lots of stuff....

Any idea what may be causing this?

Looks like the volume is having inode issues...

Use Xsan admin to unmount the volume from all clients and then stop the volume.

Then, in Terminal, on the MDC, do the following commands, in order:

sudo cvfsck -vj <volname>
sudo cvfsck -vn <volname>
sudo cvfsck -v <volname>

where <volname> is the name of your volume. You will be asked to authenticate each time.

cvfsck will try to resolve the inode discrepancies, but be forwarned, you might have screwed the pooch with the wanton updates.

Which machine(s) did you do the update to?

Let this be a warning to all: unmount and stop the volume and use cvfsck to check the state of the volume before _any_ upgrades.
