Description
***This is for WhamCloud Level 3 support purchased through Penguin Computing.
We have a Lustre 2.1.2 file
system that has quotas. Previously, these quotas were not set to start by
default and required us to run "lfs quotaon" to activate them after every
downtime. To change this, I ran the command "tunefs.lustre --param
ost.quota_type=u" on all of our OSTs, and "tunefs.lustre --param
mdd.quota_type=u" on our MDT during our most recent downtime. The next time
we mounted the file system, Lustre quotas were properly started and our
previously defined quotas were still available.
However, since the downtime we have been seeing these messages in the
/var/log/messages of the OSSes:
Oct 3 10:28:44 oss01 kernel: Lustre:
18537:0:(quota_interface.c:532:quota_chk_acq_common()) still haven't
managed to acquire quota space from the quota master after 10 retries
(err=0, rc=0)
Oct 3 10:29:15 oss01 kernel: Lustre:
24295:0:(quota_interface.c:532:quota_chk_acq_common()) still haven't
managed to acquire quota space from the quota master after 10 retries
(err=0, rc=0)
Oct 3 10:29:49 oss01 kernel: Lustre:
18554:0:(quota_interface.c:532:quota_chk_acq_common()) still haven't
managed to acquire quota space from the quota master after 10 retries
(err=0, rc=0)
These messages don't appear to affect the system's ability to work with
Lustre quotas, but they did not appear in the logs until after this change
to the parameters of the OSTs. Additionally, nothing appears on the MDS's
syslog related to anything wrong with the "quota master" or anything
involving user quotas.
Any suggestions that you could give to correct this problem would be
appreciated and please let me know if you need any additional information.
