Josh, FWIW, I have been through a very similar issue. My story from where you are:
I ran fsck on all the targets until it was happy. I mounted the MGS, then the MDT. Then I mounted all the OSTs EXCEPT the one that would cause kernel panics. This let me get at all the data that did not have anything on that OST. Then we took about 5 months to get a support contract, just in case. In the meantime, I upgraded to the latest version of lustre. Everything looked good an when we had downtime with support in place, I mounted the 'bad' OST which came up with no issue. The best I could come up with was the upgrade made a difference. Not sure if one of the bugs that was fixed did it or what. But, as I said, we were able to bring up the filesystem with the exception of the one OST, so that could help you some.

I'm hoping a similar recovery process discussed on LU-6696 could work for me: https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-6696 I'm trying to get the FS back to a readable state so users can copy files off the system, at which point the FS will likely be reformatted. Details: Luster servers are running 2.5.3.90 on RHEL kernel 2.6.32-431.56.1. All was running well till a hardware failure occurred with the backing storage arrays of the MDT. The storage array has active and standby RAID controllers. The active controller crashed and the "mirrored" cache to the standby controller was lost. MDS+MDT/MGS kept running with multi-path driver under the assumption all issued IOs succeeded. :-/ Hours later the MDS kernel noticed corruption on the MDT and remounted it read-only: [4018464.727774] LDISKFS-fs error (device dm-2): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #1967679418: rec_len % 4 != 0 - block=983894031offset=0(0), inode=1919907631, rec_len=12139, name_len=119 [4018464.745662] Aborting journal on device dm-2-8. [4018464.751092] LustreError: 8086:0:(osd_handler.c:860:osd_trans_commit_cb()) transaction @0xffff8803ebe4acc0 commit error: 2 [4018464.762367] LDISKFS-fs (dm-2): Remounting filesystem read-only All Lustre clients were unmounted followed by server targets in the following order: MGS/MDT (same device), all 36xOSTs. The umounts completed without issue. The MDT was mounted to recover the journal before running: e2fsck -fp /dev/mdtdevice No surprise, that reported: "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY." I created a lvm snapshot of the MDT and progressed to: e2fsck -fy /dev/mdtdevice As expected, the above found numerous issues with files created prior to the MDT going RO. Mounting the MGS/MDT after the e2fsck succeeded. I am able to mount OST indexes 0 through 6, but the MDS kernel panics when OST0007 is mounted. I've tried mounting the targets with '-o abort_recov' and also attempted 'tunefs.lustre --writeconf' on the MDT and OSTs, mounting them in index order. Mounting OST index 7 always panics the MDS kernel. I increased the 'lctl set_param' debug/subsystem_debug/printk in hopes of narrowing down where the issue is and captured messages when OST index 7 was being mounted.
