I am trying to reformat an OST which was originally created with lustre 2.3 with lustre 2.4 mkefs.lustre.

First question is why you want to reformat?  You never need to reformat when upgrading to newer versions.


Command:

mkfs.lustre --reformat --ost --index=0 --fsname=WORK --mgsnode=10.100.1.10 at o2ib /dev/VG_Lustre/WORK_OST0

   Permanent disk data:
Target:     WORK:OST0000
Index:      0
Lustre FS:  WORK
Mount type: ldiskfs
Flags:      0x62
              (OST first_time update )
Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro
Parameters: mgsnode=10.100.1.10 at o2ib

device size = 16776956MB
formatting backing filesystem ldiskfs on /dev/VG_Hamming/WORK_OST0
        target name  WORK:OST0000
        4k blocks     4294900736
        options        -J size=400 -I 256 -i 524288 -q -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,quota,huge_file,flex_bg -G 256 -E resize=4290772992,lazy_journal_init -F
mkfs_cmd = mke2fs -j -b 4096 -L WORK:OST0000  -J size=400 -I 256 -i 524288 -q -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,quota,huge_file,flex_bg -G 256 -E resize=4290772992,lazy_journal_init -F /dev/VG_Hamming/WORK_OST0 4294900736
   The resize maximum must be greater than the filesystem size.

It's probably a corner case from the filesystem being just a bit larger than 16TB.  2^32 blocks = 4291821568, but the filesystem size is 4294900736 blocks in size (just 260MB over).  The "resize" feature should be disabled for filesystems 16TB or larger, since it doesn't work for resizing beyond 16TB.  This is a bug in mkfs.lustre if you could please file one with the details.

You could try shrinking the LV to be exactly 16TB and see if this fixes it.

Cheers, Andreas


   Bad option(s) specified:

   Extended options are separated by commas, and may take an argument which
        is set off by an equals ('=') sign.

   Valid extended options are:
        stride=<RAID per-disk data chunk in blocks>
        stripe-width=<RAID stride * data disks in blocks>
        resize=<resize maximum size in blocks>
        lazy_itable_init=<0 to disable, 1 to enable>
        lazy_journal_init=<0 to disable, 1 to enable>
        test_fs
        discard

        quotatype=<usr OR grp>


mkfs.lustre FATAL: Unable to build fs /dev/VG_Hamming/WORK_OST0 (256)

mkfs.lustre FATAL: mkfs failed 256



I see some bugs from lustre 1.8 (LU-399) referencing the error, but nothing for 2.4

Maybe it is how I am trying to make the filesystem that is causing grief.

Can anyone provide some input/advice here?



Thanks in advance,
