Hi there I got the following background information from Juergen Kreuels at SGI
"It turned out that a bad disk ( which did NOT report itself as being bad ) killed the lustre leading to data corruption due to inode areas on that disk. It was finally decided to remake the whole FS and only during that action we finally ( after nearly 48 h ) found that bad drive. It had nothing to do with the lustre FS itself. Lustre had been the victim of a HW failure on a Raid6 lun." I hope that this helps PJones Heiko Schroeter wrote: > Hello list, > > does anyone has more background infos of what happened there ? > > Regards > Heiko > > > > > HLRN News > --------- > > > Since Mon Aug 18, 2008 12:00 HLRN-II complex Berlin is open for users, > again. > > During the maintenance it turned out that the Lustre file system holding > the users $WORK and $TMPDIR was damaged completely. > The file system had to be reconstructed from scratch.
