Hello,

I just encountered a problem with one of our Riak nodes, which is caused by a bug in either the disk controller or the firmware of our SSD disks. Anyway, the obvious symptom is, that all writes to the disks suddenly fail, which of course leads to truncated bitcask files. However, this time the files got corrupted in a way, that lead to CRC errors while fetching keys from bitcask. This in turn leads to a crash of the vnode everytime such a key is read. So the log is filled with these messages:

11:55:52.621 [error] CRASH REPORT Process <0.23175.3> with 0 neighbours crashed with reason: no case clause matching {error,bad_crc,{state,#Ref<0.0.0.196598>,"262613575457896618114724618378707105094425378816",[{async_folds,true},[{vnode_vclocks,false},{included_applications,[]},{allow_strfun,false},{reduce_js_vm_count,6},{storage_backend,riak_kv_bitcask_backend},{legacy_keylisting,false},{pb_ip,"0.0.0.0"},{hook_js_vm_count,2},{listkeys_backpressure,false},{mapred_name,"mapred"},{stats_urlpath,"stats"},{legacy_stats,true},{js_thread_stack,16},{riak_kv_stat,true},{add_paths,[]},{http_url_encoding,on},{map_js_vm_count,...},...],...],...}} in riak_kv_vnode:prepare_put/3

Also those keys cannot be (over)written, since a put without last_write_wins set to true does a get first internally. I think the cause of the error should be obvious to anyone familiar with the riak internals. Otherwise I can provide more information.

Cheers,
Nico
