[Lustre-discuss] Lost folders after changing MDS

OK, so our old MDS had hardware issues so I configured a new MGS / MDS on a VM (this is a backup lustre filesystem and I wanted to separate the MGS / MDS from OSS of the previous), and then did this:

For example:

mount -t ldiskfs /dev/old /mnt/ost_old
mount -t ldiskfs /dev/new /mnt/ost_new
rsync -aSv /mnt/ost_old/ /mnt/ost_new
# note trailing slash on ost_old/

If you are unable to connect both sets of disk to the same computer, use rsync to copy over the network using rsh (or ssh with -e ssh):

rsync -aSvz /mnt/ost_old/ new_ost_node:/mnt/ost_new

Use the same procedure for the MDS, with one additional step:

cd /mnt/mds_old; getfattr -R -e base64 -d . > /tmp/mdsea; \<copy all MDS files as above>; cd /mnt/mds_new; setfattr \--restore=/tmp/mdsea
 

Run on all nodes (clients and OSS's & MDS / MGS) to change MGS (where mgs is the name of the server and /dev/sdb1 is the name of the unmounted oat)

tunefs.lustre --mgsnode=mgs at tcp0 /dev/sdb1

tunefs.lustre --erase-param --mgsnode=192.168.16.3 at tcp --writeconf /dev/sdc1

After copying with rsync, I had to
cd   /srv/mdt;
rm  CATALOGS  OBJECTS/*
on the new MDT partition.



I also upgraded from 1.8.8 to 2. I managed to mount the Lustre filesystem and if I do lfs df -h, I get:

NB> I deactivated those two OSTs below.

However, there are hardly any files or folders there - most of them have disappeared, but they are clearly on the OSTs (according to the above command). Is there any way I can reindex the OST'S / MDS to recognise the files and folders properly?

When I do lctl dl I get:

SO it all looks fine and /var/log/messages and dmesg seem to look OK.

Thanks in advance!
