Hi, The manual has following instruction for erasing a file system. If you have a separate MGS (that you do not want to reformat), then add the "writeconf" flag to mkfs.lustre on the MDT, run: $ mkfs.lustre --reformat --writeconf –fsname spfs --mdt --mgs /dev/sda
I am not sure, but wouldn't this command create a lustre installation with two MGSs? Shouldn't it be like: $ mkfs.lustre --reformat --writeconf –fsname spfs --mdt -mgs=<MGS.ip> /dev/sda Also, I have seen some posts where people have more than one MGS per installation (although it is not recommended). I am wondering how can one erase a file system when the installation has more than one MGS. Any insights? Thanks, Shantanu Pavgi. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
