Hi Chris, Don't your Lustre volumes have a label on them?
On the one cluster I've got, the physical storage is shared with a number of other systems, so the device information can change over time ... so I use device labels in my /etc/fstab and friends. Something like 'lustre-OST0000', 'lustre-OST00001' ... although when the devices are actually mounted, they show up with their /dev node names. Look through /proc/fs/lustre for Lustre volume names (they show up when they're mounted), and you can winnow your list down by mounting by name, checking the device ID, and removing it that way. If you have a lot of devices on the same bus, it will likely take a bit for the right one to be found, but it's there. hth, Klaus On 3/13/08 12:50 PM, "Chris Worley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>did etch on stone tablets: > I'm trying to deactivate some OST's, but to find them I've been > searching through /var/log/messages, as in: > > # ssh io2 grep -e sde -e sdf -e sdj -e sdk -e sdd /var/log/messages"*" > | grep Server > /var/log/messages:Mar 10 13:27:54 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST0035 on device /dev/sdf has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 4 16:02:13 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST0030 on device /dev/sdf has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 14:34:44 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST002e on device /dev/sdd has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 14:34:55 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST002f on device /dev/sde has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 14:35:16 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST0030 on device /dev/sdf has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 15:20:48 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST002f on device /dev/sde has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 16:08:38 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST002e on device /dev/sdd has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 16:08:43 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST0030 on device /dev/sdf has started > /var/log/messages.1:Mar 6 16:08:53 io2 kernel: Lustre: Server > ddnlfs-OST0034 on device /dev/sdj has started > > Note that there isn't an entry for sdk (probably rotated out), and sdf > has two different names. > > Is there a better way to find the right Lustre device name map to > Linux block device? > > I'm trying to cull-out slow disks.
