Description

We are unable to mount the targets on Lustre servers when using multirail configuration on the MGS.

LU-4334 introduced a format change of the mgsnode value on the targets.

Old format:
mgsnode=192.168.101.41@tcp,192.168.102.41@tcp1 mgsnode=192.168.101.42@tcp,192.168.102.42@tcp1

New format:
mgsnode=192.168.101.41@tcp,192.168.102.41@tcp1:192.168.101.42@tcp,192.168.102.42@tcp1

With patch LU-5690, we are now unable to start any target with this new format. We can see this Lustre error in the console of the OSS:

LDISKFS-fs (vdb): Unrecognized mount option "192.168.102.41@tcp1:192.168.101.42@tcp" or missing value

The debug log reports the following message while trying to mount OST 0:

This is easily reproducible with Lustre 2.5.3.90+LU-5690.

Writing CONFIGS/mountdata

1. mount -t lustre /dev/vdb /mnt/fs/scratch/ost0
   mount.lustre: set /sys/block/vdb/queue/max_sectors_kb to 2147483647

mount.lustre: mount /dev/vdb at /mnt/fs/scratch/ost0 failed: Invalid argument
This may have multiple causes.
Are the mount options correct?
Check the syslog for more info.
