Description

At top of page 82 of the Lustre admin guide (https://build.hpdd.intel.com/job/lustre-manual/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/lustre_manual.pdf) the instruction for enabling DNE are wrong. They should read as:

To relax this restriction and enable remote sub-directories off any MDT, an administrator must issue the command lctl set_param -n mdt.{MDT-device-name}.enable_remote_dir=1.

The instructions also need to be run on the MDS for that MDT when there are multiple MDSs (instead of the mgs).
The instructions should be:

.....To relax this restriction and enable remote sub-directories off any MDT, an administrator must issue the following command on the MDS:
mds# lctl set_param mdt.{MDT-device-name}.enable_remote_dir=1

For Lustre filesystem 'testfs', the command executed is:
mds1# lctl set_param mdt.testfs-MDT0001.enable_remote_dir=1

To verify the configuration setting execute the following command on any MDS:
mds# lctl get_param mdt.*.enable_remote_dir

Andreas: Sure - I'll walk though each of the steps and make sure they are correct and the captured output from commands is also still correct.

Joe, this looks like a simple one to fix?
