Subject: [lustre-discuss] migrating mgs and mdt
I am managing a Lustre 2. 12. 6 system where I have just discovered that the 
MGS and MDTs are on single disks rather than RAIDed drives. /dev/sda5 on 
/mnt/lustre_mgs type lustre (ro,svname=MGS,nosvc,mgs,osd=osd-ldiskfs,. . . ) 
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/lustre_mdt_abc

I am managing a Lustre 2.12.6 system where I have just discovered that the MGS 
and MDTs are on single disks rather than RAIDed drives.
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/lustre_mgs type lustre 
(ro,svname=MGS,nosvc,mgs,osd=osd-ldiskfs,...)
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/lustre_mdt_abc type lustre 
(ro,svname=lstr_abc-MDT0000,mgsnode=10.58.255.254@o2ib,osd=osd-ldiskfs,...)
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/lustre_mdt_def type lustre 
(ro,svname=lstr_def-MDT0000,mgsnode=10.58.255.254@o2ib,osd=osd-ldiskfs,...)

Is there any way to migrate those three metadata partitions to other partitions 
which would presumably be located on RAIDed drives?  For example, would it work 
to set up the new RAIDed drives and use dd to clone the partitions into 
partitions on the RAID?
