Hello dear lustre community.
We have a lustre file system, where one ost is having problems.
The underlying diskarray, an old sfa10k from DDN (without support), have one
raidset with ca 1300 bad blocks. The bad blocks came about when one disk in the
raid failed while another drive in other raidset was rebuilding.
Now.
The ost is offline, and the file system seems useable for new files, while old
files on the corresponding ost is generating lots of kernel messages on the OSS.
Quotainformation is not available though.
Questions:
May I assume that for new files, everything is fine, since they are not using
the inactive device anyway?
I tried to run e2fschk on the ost unmounted, while jobs were still running on
the filesystem, and for a few minutes it seemd like this was working, as the
filesystem seemed to come back complete afterwards. After a few minutes the ost
failed again, though.
Any pointers on how to rebuild/fix the ost and get it back is very much
appreciated.
Also how to regenerate the quotainformation, which is currently unavailable
would help. With or without the troublesome OST.
Best Regards
Einar Næss Jensen (on flight to Denver)
