Description
In order for Lustre to use OSTs larger than 16TB, the e2fsprogs "master" branch needs to be tested against such large LUNs. The "master" branch has unreleased modifications that should allow mke2fs, e2fsck, and other tools to use LUNs over 16TB, but it has not been heavily tested at this point.
Bruce, I believe we previously discussed a test plan for this work, using llverdev and llverfs. Please attach a document or comment here with details. The testing for 16TB LUNs is documented in https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16038.
After the local ldiskfs filesystem testing is complete, then obdfilter-survey and full Lustre client testing is needed.
