Good Morning, The real issue here is that the OST was decomissioned because the zpool on which it resided died, which left about 30TB of data (and possibly several million files) to be scrubbed.
The steps I took were as follows... I set active=0 on the mds, and then set lazystatfs=1 on the mds and the clients so that df commands wouldn't hang. I don't see in the documentation where you have to set the ost to active=0 on every client, did I miss that? Also that is a marked change from 1.8, where deactivating an OST just required active=0 on the mds. w/r, Kurt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Brisbane" <sean.brisb...@physics.ox.ac.uk> To: "Kurt Strosahl" <stros...@jlab.org>, "Chris Hunter" <chunt...@gmail.com> Cc: lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org Sent: Friday, January 22, 2016 4:33:41 AM Subject: RE: Inactivated ost still showing up on the mds Dear Kurt, Im not sure if this is exactly what you were trying to do, but when I decommission an OST I also deactivate the OST on the client, which means that nothing on the OST will be accessible but the filesystem will carry on happily. lctl set_param osc.lustresystem-OST00NN-osc*.active=0 Thanks, Sean ________________________________________ From: lustre-discuss [lustre-discuss-boun...@lists.lustre.org] on behalf of Kurt Strosahl [stros...@jlab.org] Sent: 21 January 2016 18:09 To: Chris Hunter Cc: lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org Subject: Re: [lustre-discuss] Inactivated ost still showing up on the mds Good Afternoon Chris, I have already run the active=0 command on the mds, is there another step? From my testing under 2.5.3 the clients will hang indefinitely without using the lazystatfs=1. Our major issue at present is that when the OST died it had a fair amount of data on in (closing in on 2M files lost), and it seems like the client gets into a bad state when calls re made repeatedly to files that are lost (but still have their ost index information). As the crawl has unlinked files the number of errors has dropped, as have client crashes. w/r, Kurt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hunter" <chunt...@gmail.com> To: lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org Cc: "Kurt Strosahl" <stros...@jlab.org> Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2016 12:50:03 PM Subject: [lustre-discuss] Inactivated ost still showing up on the mds Hi Kurt, For reference when an underlying OST object is missing, this is the error message generated on our MDS (lustre 2.5): > Lustre: 12752:0:(mdd_object.c:1983:mdd_dir_page_build()) build page failed: > -5! I suspect until you update the MGS info the MDS will still connect to the deactive OST. My experience is sometimes the recipe to deactivate an OST works flawlessly sometimes other times the clients hang on "df" command and timeout on file access. I guess the order which you run the commands (ie. client vs server) is important. regards, chris hunter > From: Kurt Strosahl <stros...@jlab.org> > To: lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org > Subject: [lustre-discuss] Inactivated ost still showing up on the mds > > All, > > Continuing the issues that I reported yesterday...
