Issue #2962 has been updated by benjolitz.


[ben at nyx ~]$ uname -r
4.4-RELEASE

I was in the process of upgrading to 4.6 on the first stage (make buildworld) but stopped when I discovered the problems.

Quite happy to resume upgrading (up to and including master) if that is adviseable.

Bug #2962: Hammer PFS Slave has broken symbolic link, recreating it doesn't work
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2962#change-13032

----------------------------------------
I setup mirroring as described in this document - https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/how_to_implement_hammer_pseudo_file_system__40___pfs___41___slave_mirroring_from_pfs_master/

I've experienced several power failures and I've noticed that one of my mirrored backups no longer works for resolving it's symbolic link.

If I destroy the errored pfs (tv) and recreate it via hammer pfs-slave, the symbolic link still doesn't work.

Console output:

nyx# file /Archive2Backup/pfs/*
/Archive2Backup/pfs/movies: symbolic link to @@0x0000000108a74b20:00001
/Archive2Backup/pfs/tv:     broken symbolic link to @@0x0000000100058744:00002

ls: /Archive2Backup/@@0x0000000100058744:00002: No such file or directory

The symlink is updated as per hammer mirror-copy/hammer mirror-stream.

I simply cannot mount_null, list files or do anything on this PFS. Destroy/Recreate does nothing.
