After crashes recently ive been geting softupdate inconsistancies. Directories in which a file has recently been renamed have neither the old file nor the new file. fsck -y recovers the inode and drops it in lost in found. I was under the impression that atomic rename() synced all the way to the disk before returning? Does softupdate enabled/disable have any bearing on this? The disks themselfs are a raid5 on an adaptec 5400s. We have had some problems recently with aac (the 5400s driver) related crashes we have been working with Scott Long on. I was wondering if maybe rename is only syncing as far as the raid controller memory?
