[lustre-discuss] Unable to mount the OST

Hello Lustre community,

One of the OSTs failed. We have copied the data using rsync and reformatted
the OST with the following command:

mkfs.lustre --ost --index=29 --replace --reformat --fsname=lustre
--backfstype=ldiskfs --mgsnode=X.X.X.X at o2ib --mkfsoptions="-i 7000" /dev/sdd


The OST has been deactivated on both the client side and the MDS side. We
mounted it with the following command and copied the data back using rsync:

mount -t ldiskfs /dev/sdd /mnt/ost29


Once the copying was completed, I tried to mount it as a Lustre OST, but I
encountered the following errors:

# mount -t lustre /dev/sdd /mnt/29ost
mount.lustre: mount /dev/sdd at /mnt/29ost failed: File exists


When I tried a second time, I got this error:

# mount -t lustre /dev/sdd /mnt/29ost
mount.lustre: mount /dev/sdd at /mnt/29ost failed: Operation now in progress


I also tried:

# mount -t lustre -o abort_recov /dev/sdd /mnt/ost29
mount.lustre: mount /dev/sdd at /mnt/ost29 failed: File exists


On the OSS, when I run:

# lctl dl | grep OST001d
12 UP osd-ldiskfs lustre-OST001d-osd lustre-OST001d-osd_UUID 3


The OST still appears. I tried to remove it using:

lctl --device lustre-OST001d-osd cleanup
lctl --device lustre-OST001d-osd detach


However, when I run mount -t lustre /dev/sdd /mnt/ost29 again, OST001d
appears once more.

I have also found Lustre-related errors in the OSS kernel logs.
