[lustre-discuss] lnet fails to start on reboot

[David Rackley]

Hello,
I  have built and installed lustre client 2.10.4-1 with centos 7.3  (3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64)  and on reboot lnet fails with:
 root at scissd1801:~] systemctl status lnet.service
● lnet.service - lnet management
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lnet.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2018-08-13 16:54:31 EDT; 16min ago

Aug 13 16:54:31 scissd1801 systemd[1]: lnet.service failed.

The /etc/lnet.conf file exists and when I manually execute /usr/sbin/lnetctl import /etc/lnet.conf it succeeds and lnet works and I can mount lustre as expected.

Any ideas?
