Well, it does have to format them, but that currently happens at mkfs time and not at first mount. I'm not sure of the actual format times, but they should be in the neighbourhood of 5 minutes or so. > I also did a test.

This is fine for basic sanity testing but is not desirable for production use. > I reran config.sh and lconf on the OST's and MDS and voila! I can mount > the filesystem successfully! This would imply something wrong with your storage arrays. You didn't include the OST syslogs in the first message, do you still have those from your first attempt?
