[Lustre-discuss] needs_recovery flag?

[David Noriega]

Still very new to lustre, and now I'm going over the failover part. I
use tune2fs to set MMP, but I would get this warning about
needs_recovery, do a journal replay or else the setting will be lost.
With dumpe2fs I could see the needs_recovery flag was set on all of
the OST/MDT. Reading over the recovery part, nothing really matching
what was going on here, I elected to use e2fsck -fn then e2fsck -fp on
all of the OST/MDT, now the needs_recovery flag is gone and I was able
to set MMP to on.  So my question is, what did I do to get this sort
of thing to happen? And how to avoid it?
