[Lustre-discuss] ldiskfs for MDT and zfs for OSTs?

2013-10-07 Thread Anjana Kar
Is it possible to configure the MDT as ldiskfs and the OSTs with zfs in lustre 2.4? The server is running a lustre kernel on a Centos 6.4 system, has both lustre-osd-ldiskfs and lustre-osd-zfs rpms installed. The MDT is up as ldiskfs, but get an error trying to configure the ost: mkfs.lustre

In theory this should be possible, but we have not tested this for a long time since it isn't a configuration that is common. Note that you need to configure the OST on a separate node from the MDT in this case. We have not implemented the ability to have multiple OSD types on the same node.

I'm guessing your git checkout doesn't include this commit: * 010a78e Revert LU-3682 tunefs: prevent tunefs running on a mounted device It looks like the LU-3682 patch introduced a bug that could cause your issue, so its reverted in the latest master. Ned On Mon, Oct 07, 2013 at 04:54:13PM
