Dear Lustre Community,</div>

I am seeking some help in understanding the errors I am seeing in my Lustre file system deployment. I would really appreciate if someone can share more information around the errors that I am seeing.</div>

So, I have a Lustre deployment with 15 MDSs and around 250 OSSs. They all mounted fine and my client could mount Lustre as well.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
But after some time, I see that 3 of the MDTs are showing as “Unavailable” (from <i>
lfs check servers</i>) to the Client node. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
NOTE - LNet pings from Client node to these MDSs are successful all this while.</div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
One error message that I noted from client logs is (below) this failure to get the sequence allocated from the Unavailable MDTs with rc =-4 (Interrupted system call).</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
I do not see these errors repeated but I see from the logs, recovery on those MDTs starting and failing when I run “df -h” on client node.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
(All the MDTs/OSTs had got the super-sequence allocated fine from MDT0 and have verifies there is no conflict on those).</div>

If someone can let me know how/if possible, to dump the FLDB on mdt0, that would be great as well (just for knowledge).</div>
