> We've experienced that the consistency checker reports false positives when run in a clustered setup. The reason for this is that the loading in of the node to be checked and its parent and children is not atomic. First the node is loaded in and then the parent and children are loaded in subsequently to check whether they exist and whether they refer back to the node to check. Off course there is no other way to do this but it does lead to the consistency checker reporting false positives in this scenario.
> It is possible, even quite simple, to virtually eliminate reporting of false positives by the consistency checker. And it would greatly enhance the usability of the consistency checker to do so. The solution is to simply double check the inconsistency when it is detected. We've not seen false positives being reported since we've implemented this strategy.
> Attached is a patch with this solution.
