[Lustre-discuss] Which partition to choose for mkfs.lustre

[Gnanasekar Loganathan]

Hi Brain,
my system environment!

[root at SF_02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep lustre
kernel-ib-1.3-2.6.9_67.0.22.EL_lustre.1.6.7.1smp
lustre-modules-1.6.7.1-2.6.9_67.0.22.EL_lustre.1.6.7.1smp
lustre-ldiskfs-3.0.7.1-2.6.9_67.0.22.EL_lustre.1.6.7.1smp
lustre-1.6.7.1-2.6.9_67.0.22.EL_lustre.1.6.7.1smp
kernel-lustre-smp-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL_lustre.1.6.7.1

[root at SF_02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep e2fs
e2fsprogs-1.35-12.17.el4
e2fsprogs-devel-1.35-12.17.el4
e2fsprogs-1.40.11.sun1-0redhat
e2fsprogs-1.35-12.17.el4

[root at SF_02 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 73.4 GB, 73407868928 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *        2550        5000    19687657+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2            5001        5383     3076447+  82  Linux swap

I have only a 2 partitions on my system.

If i run the command

'mkfs.lustre --mdt --mgs --fsname=large-fs /dev/sda'

the system will crash/corrupt.

can you guide me please, what are all the things i need to do further?


Thanks,
Gnana
