Re: [9fans] Using cwfs

I'll use this thread to post further questions about cwfs.

I recently had a problem accessing a directory in a
drive managed by cwfs - whenever I tried to access
the dir, I got the error:
...: phase error -- cannot happen

so I went over to the cwfs console and played around
with `clean':
fs: clean /path/to/trouble
dblock[0] = 286843
dblock[1] = 0
...
iblocks[6] = 0
...
fs: clean /path/to/trouble 286843
... (see above)
fs: clean /path/to/trouble 0
dblock[0] = 286843
dblock[0] modified 0
dblock[1] = 0
...
fs: clean /path/to/trouble
dblock[0] = 0
...

at this point, "uh oh," I thought. I could access
the directory, but of course all files inside were
no longer accessible - just me playing around
a bit. There used to be a 1G file in there; I hope
I can still access it through the worm dump.
I subsequently performed an `rm /path/to/trouble'.
Anyways, a `check rdall' reveals
nmiss = 189296
is this something I should be worried about?
Is the rest of that data inside the directory I
performed a clean 0 on, still dangling somewhere
in the FS, that it should be wiped out? The `check'
shows
nbad = 0
nqbad = 0
but the large number of nmiss still holds my attention.


Best,
