[Lustre-discuss] Another server question.

[Robert Minvielle]

I still can not seem to get this OST to come online. The clients 
are still exhibiting the same behaviour as before. Is there any
way to get the OST to go into active by force? I ran a ext3 check
on it using the SUN modded e2fsprogs and it returns 

e2fsck 1.40.11.sun1 (17-June-2008)
datafs-OST0001: recovering journal
datafs-OST0001: clean, 472/25608192 files, 1862944/102410358 blocks

Yet, I still get:

cd /proc/fs/lustre; find . -name "*recov*" -exec cat {} \;
status: INACTIVE

On the MGS, it seems to show as active...

[root at l1storage1 ~]# cat /proc/fs/lustre/lov/datafs-mdtlov/target_obd 
0: datafs-OST0000_UUID ACTIVE
1: datafs-OST0001_UUID ACTIVE
4: datafs-OST0004_UUID ACTIVE
5: datafs-OST0005_UUID ACTIVE
6: datafs-OST0006_UUID ACTIVE

I can not seem to how to up the OST in the FAQ/manual, other than
the 4.2.1 4.2.2 section, which does not seem to work on this OST
(when I do a  lctl --device <devno> conf_param datafs-OST0001.osc.active=1
it fails, although no matter what I put in for <devno> it gives me an
error). 

Any help would be much appreciated.
