Greetings,

For anyone running or planning to run an MDS on a big-endian
architecture, please be aware that when directories are fragmented (an
automatic process when they become large) that the MDS will send
byte-swapped fragment identifiers to clients. This confuses the client
and can result in it entering an infinite loop trying to read the
contents of a directory.

The issue is tracked here: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/73792

The fix includes code to automatically correct any persisted
byte-swapped fragment identifiers. We expect it to be backported to
Tentacle and Squid as soon as the fix is in the main branch.

Regards,
