Good Afternoon Chris,

   I have already run the active=0 command on the mds, is there another step?  
From my testing under 2.5.3 the clients will hang indefinitely without using 
the lazystatfs=1.

   Our major issue at present is that when the OST died it had a fair amount of 
data on in (closing in on 2M files lost), and it seems like the client gets 
into a bad state when calls re made repeatedly to files that are lost (but 
still have their ost index information).  As the crawl has unlinked files the 
number of errors has dropped, as have client crashes.

w/r,
Kurt

Subject: [lustre-discuss] Inactivated ost still showing up on the mds

Hi Kurt,
For reference when an underlying OST object is missing, this is the 
error message generated on our MDS (lustre 2.5):
> Lustre: 12752:0:(mdd_object.c:1983:mdd_dir_page_build()) build page failed: 
> -5!

I suspect until you update the MGS info the MDS will still connect to 
the deactive OST.

My experience is sometimes the recipe to deactivate an OST works 
flawlessly sometimes other times the clients hang on "df" command and 
timeout on file access. I guess the order which you run the commands 
(ie. client vs server) is important.

regards,
chris hunter
