Hi Colin.
This is not what the manual says.

Shall it be corrected then? Or, add description for startup sequence in different situations (first start, restart).

The manual (or online information) does not describe graceful shutdown sequence for separate MGS/MDT configuration, it will be nice to add that too.

Alex.

E.g.
	http://wiki.lustre.org/manual/LustreManual20_HTML/LustreOperations.html#50438194_24122
and similar
