Another point of confusion with tunefs.lustre.  When I add, as you
suggest (although I'm still doing this on the OSS, as I don't know how
to specify /dev/sd? on another node from the MGS), the Ethernet IP for
both tcp and o2ib, (and have tcp first), as in:

   --mgsnode="[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

tunefs.lustre adds this, rather than replacing it, so now I get:

 ...
Parameters: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] sys.timeout=40
lov.stripesize=2M [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]
sys.timeout=40 lov.stripesize=2M
[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...

The initial setting, yesterday's change, and today's change are in
there... I have no clue which takes precedence.
