This document (7023917) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Service Pack 1 (SLES 12 SP1)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Service Pack 2 (SLES 12 SP2)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Service Pack 3 (SLES 12 SP3)

Application: CDR (Continuous Data Replicator) from CommVault Systems


Situation

Users are not able to open files on a CIFS mounted filesystem.
In the /var/log/messages file the following messages will be logged.

2019-05-31T10:20:07.689578+00:00 xxxxx kernel: [2841687.966564] 11138: ERROR: cxfs_check_and_recall(): Failed to get RO lock for inode 11258999068508205 of device 26 mounted under /usr/PIM: rc=-9
2019-05-31T10:20:07.777590+00:00 xxxxx kernel: [2841688.052061] 5935: ERROR: cxfs_check_and_recall(): Failed to get RO lock for inode 11540474045218861 of device 26 mounted under /usr/PIM: rc=-9
2019-05-31T10:20:07.865577+00:00 xxxxx kernel: [2841688.143027] 11140: ERROR: cxfs_check_and_recall(): Failed to get RO lock for inode 11821949021929517 of device 26 mounted under /usr/PIM: rc=-9

Resolution

Please contact CommVault to ask for a bugfix or an updated version.
A temporary workaround would be to unmount and mount the CIFS filesytem again.

Cause

In this case CDR is used to replicate data in CIFS shares from a source computer to a destination computer.
This is an error caused by the CommVault cdr.ko kernel module.
