It looks like this may be the same issue as reported here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-October/027902.html but that thread seems to have just died off about a year ago. Zfs scrub is still running, but not reported errors so far. I'm going to run a "zdb -ccv backup" once that is done. >From looking over this other thread, I tried just a simple "ls /backup/ldap1/etc" and "/backup/ldap1/etc/pki" does show up if I do "ls" without any arguments. If I do an "ls -l" then it doesn't show up. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Brian Gold Sent: Friday, November 16, 2012 9:37 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: odd phantom directory Hi all, I ran into a rather odd issue this morning with my FreeBSD 9.0-Release system running ZFS v28. This system serves as an RSYNC host which all of our other systems back up to each night. Last night, I started getting the following error: file has vanished: "/backup/ldap1/etc/pki" Now, usually when I get a file has vanished error during an RSYNC run, it indicates that the source file/directory on the system that is sending the rsync backup has been deleted or moved before rsync got a chance to actually send it. That doesn't appear to be the case here. "/backup/ldap1/etc/pki" is the destination directory on my Freebsd/ZFS server. I take a look in "/backup/ldap1/etc" on my Freebsd server and the "pki" subdirectory is no longer listed. Ok, so I run "mkdir /backup/ldap1/etc/pki" and get the following error: "mkdir: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: File exists". Odd Just to double check, I run "ls -la /backup/ldap1/etc/pki" and get the following: "ls: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: No such file or directory" Alright, how about a simple touch? "touch: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: No such file or directory" Fine. Maybe there is something funky about the "/backup/ldap1/etc" directory that is preventing me from doing any of this. "mkdir /backup/ldap1/etc/pki2". That works just fine. What the heck? Looking at the output of my daily security run, I see the following: Checking setuid files and devices: find: /backup/ldap1/etc/fonts/conf.avail: No such file or directory find: /backup/ldap1/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf: No such file or directory find: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: No such file or directory So, it looks like there are a few files/directories in /backup/ldap1/etc that were affected. Looking through dmesg and /var/log/messages, I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I'm running a zpool scrub now just to be on the safe side, but I haven't seen any checksum or other errors so far. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
