Oh, better still, as I kept looking, and the low-level panic retreated,
I found this on the mdt:
[root@lmd02 ~]# lctl get_param osc.*.prealloc_next_id
...
osc.umt3-OST0025-osc.prealloc_next_id=6778336
So, unless someone tells me that I am way off base, I'm going to proceed
with the assumption that this is a valid starting point, and proceed to
get my file system back online.

Google first, ask later. I found this in the manuals:
26.3.4 Fixing a Bad LAST_ID on an OST
The procedures there spell out pretty well what I must do, so this
should be relatively straight forward. But, does this comment refer
to just this OST, or to all OST?
*Note - *The file system must be stopped on all servers before
performing this procedure.
So, is this the best approach to follow, allowing for the fact that
there is nothing at all left on the OST, or is there a better short
cut to choosing an appropriate LAST_ID?
Thanks again,

I need to completely remake a failed OST. I have done this in the
past, but this time, the disk failed in such a way that I cannot
fully get recovery information from the OST before I destroy and
recreate. In particular, I am unable to recover the LAST_ID file,
but successfully retrieved the last_rcvd and CONFIGS/* files.
mount -t ldiskfs /dev/sde /mnt/ost
pushd /mnt/ost
cd O
cd 0
cp -p LAST_ID /root/reformat/sde
The O directory exists, but it is empty. What can I do concerning
this missing LAST_ID file? I mean, I probably have something,
somewhere, from some previous recovery, but that is way, way out of
date.
My intent is to recreate this OST with the same index, and then put
it back into production. All files were moved off the OST before
reaching this state, so nothing else needs to be recovered here.
Thanks,
bob
