[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2863] HAMMER synch tid is zero

Issue #2863 has been updated by shamaz.


As far as I know, any amount of subsequent TIDs is at least a non-decrementing sequence (if not strictly incrementing). So if sync-end-tid is not zero (as in my case), may this be, that a subsequent TID is zero? I forgot to mention, that my new FS is not completely new, I created one or two files, a new master PFS and a snapshot (of course with TID=0). Is this by design? I'll check later if the same happens when there is I/O in progress when syncing.

Hello. This appears on DragonFlyBSD 4.2 (and maybe newer) if you try the
following with HAMMER filesystem:

1) Create a new vnode device.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1m count=15000
# vnconfig -c vn test.img
# disklabel64  -w -r vn4s0 auto
# disklabel64 -e vn4s0
Add a line like "a:      *      0     HAMMER"

2) Create a HAMMER filesystem:
newfs_hammer -f -L TEST /dev/vn4s0a

3) Mount it:
mount /dev/vn4s0a /mnt

4) Try to sync it:
hammer synctid /mnt

You will see zero sync tid (0x0000000000000000). If you try to set some
debug-related sysctls, it will get you no info at all when syncing. Also
hammer pfs-status /mnt will show that sync-end-tid does not increment in
time as it should. I am not sure if it happens with any non-root hammer FS,
or just with those based on vn pseudo disks.
