• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Priority: Critical
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.3.0, Lustre 2.4.0, Lustre 1.8.8
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: WC Triage
• Reporter: Jian Yu

Description

After successfully rolling upgrade from Lustre 1.8.8-wc1 to 2.3.0 RC2 with the path of OSS->MDS->Client, rolling downgrade with path of Client->MDS->OSS failed at the mounting 1.8.8-wc1 client stage:

mount.lustre: mount fat-amd-1:/lustre at /mnt/lustre failed: Invalid argument
This may have multiple causes.
Is 'lustre' the correct filesystem name?
Are the mount options correct?
Check the syslog for more info.

Dmesg showed that:
