<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Right now neither help me as I had to bring the entire system up from scratch and NOT mount the bad OST.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So, now OST5 is not listed anywhere. The only knows it is missing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Doing ‘lctl dl’ only show the OSTs that have been brought up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If I try to bring it up, it registers, the MDS becomes aware, the OSS kernel panics and the MDS starts making everyone wait for it to come back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Part of ‘lfs df’:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hassle is I cannot really do an ‘lfs find’ for the files on the bad OST because the OST is not registered… stuck in a loop here…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If I could find a way to tag it as offline even though the MDS doesn’t see it yet, that may help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are still trying to move forward getting our filesystem at least partially up with a failed OST.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Currently the OST will kernel panic any device that mounts it. That seems to be a constant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So, the plan is to bring the system up without that OST and find what data will be lost.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Now, I am trying to deactivate the OST on the MGS, but it seems to have no effect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Running lctl --device 14 deactivate does not change anything. The OST still shows ‘UP’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Is there a way to force lustre to deactivate an OST altogether when it is showing ‘UP’ and the OST is not going to be happily mounted?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I can mount the filesystem, but many actions hang (ls, df, etc).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
