[lustre-discuss] Issues regarding corss-version mounting of MDT

[Huijun Wu]

I recently encountered an issue related to cross-version mounting of an MDT.

After an MDS crash, I rebooted the MDS and accidentally mounted an MDT that was originally created and used with Lustre 2.15.4 using Lustre 2.16.1. After this, I noticed that many files and directories were shown as “????” on the client side.

I then ran lfsck on this MDT, and found that some directories that originally belonged to this MDT disappeared entirely.

Any recommendations on how to analyze, recover, or mitigate this issue?
