I configured a Lustre file system on a collection of storage servers that have 12TB raw devices. I configured a combined MGS/MDS with the default configuration. On the OSTs however I added the force_over_8tb to the mountfsoptions.
Two part question: 1- do I need to set that parameter on the MGS/MDS server as well 2- if yes, how do I properly add this parameter on this running Lustre file system (100TB on 9 storage servers) I can't resolve the ambiguity in the documentation as I can't find a good explanation of the configuration log mechanism that is being referenced in the man pages. The fact that the doc for --writeconf states "This is very dangerous", I am hesitant to pull the trigger as there is 60TB of data on this file system that I rather not lose. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
