This is more like a bug report and should be filed in Jira.
That said, no guarantee that someone would be able to
work on this in a timely manner.

Just pushing it on to the top of inbox :)  Or is there any other distribution list that is more appropriate for this type of questions? I am also trying devel mailing list.

Just to clarify. OSS-2 is completely powered off (hard power off without any graceful shutdown) before start working on OSS-3.

Hi All,

I am seeing a behavior with tunefs.lustre. After changing the failover node and trying to mount an OST, getting getting the following error:

The target service's index is already in use. (/dev/sdd)

After the above error, and performing --writeconf once, I can repeat these steps (see below) any number of times and any OSS without --writeconf.

This is an effort to mount an OST to a new OSS. I reproduced this issue after simplifying some steps and reproducing the behavior (see below) consistently. I was wondering if anyone could help me to understand this?

<waits here for MPP time out (multi mount protection>



After it completes the write, for some reason this OST is being marked as 'first_time' flag 0x1062 in next command.

[root at OSS-3 opc]#  tunefs.lustre --dryrun /dev/sdd
checking for existing Lustre data: found

   Read previous values:
Target:     testfs-OST0040
Index:      64

Mount type: ldiskfs
Flags:      0x1062
              (OST first_time update no_primnode )
Persistent mount opts: ,errors=remount-ro
Parameters:  mgsnode=10.99.101.6 at tcp1:10.99.101.7 at tcp1 failover.node=10.99.101.19 at tcp1

exiting before disk write.

Mount doesn't work here because it is marked as first time and this OST is not first time as it was already mounted using OST-2 OSS, and MGS knows about it.

[root at OSS-3 opc]#  mkdir /testfs-OST0040
[root at OSS-3 opc]# mount -t lustre /dev/sdd  /testfs-OST0040
mount.lustre: mount /dev/sdd at /testfs-OST0040 failed: Address already in use
The target service's index is already in use. (/dev/sdd)
[root at OSS-3 opc]#

>From here, if I do tunefs.lustre with --writeconf, it works. Once this is done, repeating the above experiment any number of times on any servers works fine as expected without using --writeconf. (FYI Note: --writeconfig is mentioned as a dangerous command)
