[Lustre-discuss] OST error

[Bob Ball]

Just to cleanly end this thread, the mptctl was out of date.  We also 
updated megaraid_sas and perc6 firmware.  e2fsck found some Block bitmap 
differences (fixed) at this point, but the OST mounted cleanly and the 
errors stopped.

Unfortunately, there are now corrupted files in the system, that remain 
corrupted, and we'll probably never be able to come up with a complete 
list of them.
