[Lustre-discuss] Lustre-1.9.260 mkfs.lustre errors

[Josephine Palencia]

HEAD (Lustre-1.9.260) built on both archs (i386, x86_64).
mkfs.lustre, mount works on  the i386.

But I get this error for the x86_64 on 2 different machines:
[root at mds00w x86_64]# mkfs.lustre --verbose  --reformat  --fsname=jwan

mkfs.lustre FATAL: loop device requires a --device-size= param

mkfs.lustre FATAL: Loop device setup for /dev/s
-------------------

For now, I combined the mgs/mdt on the i386 machines and that created the 
fs and mounted without problems.

I'd appreciate feedback on the 2 other machines with mkfs.lustre errors.

Thanks,
