Description

When running llmount.sh it can error when trying to parse the NID while formatting the OSTs. It errors with the following:

Formatting mgs, mds, osts
Format mds1: /tmp/lustre-mdt1
Format ost1: /tmp/lustre-ost1
mkfs.lustre: Can't parse NID 'lustremaster@tcp'
mkfs.lustre: exiting with 1 (Operation not permitted)

This error could be better stated by saying that 'hostname' with address needs to be added to /etc/hosts, or something to give users a better idea how to fix this problem.
