[Lustre-discuss] [wc-discuss] The ost_connect operation failed with -16

[Adrian Ulrich]

Hello,


> May 30 09:58:36 ccopt kernel: LustreError: 11-0: an error occurred while communicating with 192.168.50.123 at tcp. The ost_connect operation failed with -16

Error -16 stands for -EBUSY

That's to be expected in such a situation. I suppose that 'lfs check servers' returned 'temporarily unavailable' for some OSTs ?


> I think the ost_connect failure could report some error messages to users instead of  causing any interactive actions stuck.

No: Users shouldn't get an error in such a situation: The filesystem will just hang until the situation recovered (= the client was able to re-connect to the OST).
