I do not believe this is the issue, although it was written this way in my training manual. I had used something to the effect of 'mkfs.lustre --mdt --mgs --fsname mylustre [EMAIL PROTECTED] --reformat /dev/sdc1' when formatting the ost, as you have it. The mkfs.lustre command works properly with a single mdt, but it appears for a failover configuration, the 'lustre0[1-2]' syntax is not being accepted, and this needs to be fixed in the manual once the correct syntax is known.

Please confirm that is the issue and the manual can be updated.
