Description

I cannot format my drives with Lustre using the following command:
mkfs.lustre --ost --fsname=XXXXXX --mgsnode=XX.XX.XXX.XXX@tcp --reformat /dev/sdc

My error is: device /dev/sdc1 mounted by lustre per /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/lustrewt-OST0001/mntdev

I've installed the Lustre 1.8.9 packages and already have the MDS up and running.
