Hi,
I'm using Lustre 2.10.5 and lately tried to add a new OST.
The OST was formatted with the command below, which other than the index is the exact same one used for all the other OSTs in the system.

mkfs.lustre --reformat --mkfsoptions="-t ext4 -T huge" --ost --fsname=local  --index=0051 --param ost.quota_type=ug --mountfsoptions='errors=remount-ro,extents,mballoc' --mgsnode=10.0.0.3 at tcp --mgsnode=10.0.0.1 at tc
p --mgsnode=10.0.0.2 at tcp --servicenode=10.0.0.3 at tcp --servicenode=10.0.0.1 at tcp --servicenode=10.0.0.2 at tcp /dev/mapper/OST0051

Note that your "--index=0051" value is probably interpreted as an octal number "41", it should be "--index=0x0051" or "--index=0x51" (hex, to match the OST device name) or "--index=81" (decimal).


When trying to mount the with:
mount.lustre /dev/mapper/OST0051 /Lustre/OST0051

The system stays on 100% CPU (one core) forever and the mount never completes, not even after a week.

I tried tunefs.lustre --writeconf --erase-params on the MDS and all the other targets, but the behaviour remains the same.

Cheers, Andreas
