[lustre-discuss] problem after upgrading 2.10.4 to 2.12.4

[Hebenstreit, Michael]

Sorry, my Lustre started out as 2.10.(4)? I suspect it was the ZFS integration.

Hi all,

from the discussion here and LU-13392 I take it that this is happening to files written under 2.5 ?
Because we are planning to upgrade 2.10.6 -> 2.12, but our Lustre has only ever been on 2.10 (.5 at first, I think, now .6). So in theory we should be safe here?

Regards,
Thomas

I imagine you'd first upgrade to 2.10.8, and then copy all old file to a new place (something like: mkdir .new_copy; rsync -a  * .new_copy; rm -rf *; mv .new_copy/* .; rmdir .new_copy) so that all files have been re-created with correct information. Knut's script is a hack and last minute resort.

And so I should plan on running Knut's 'update_25_objects' on all of my OSTs? Is that correct? Should I need to do that at Lustre 2.8.0, or not until I get to v2.12? Also, I assume this issue is irrelevant of underlying filesystem - we are still running lustrefs on our 12 OSTs, rather than ZFS.
