Description

Hi,
Pre-requisite to reproduce this bug :
1. A single Scientific Linux (release 6.6) VM, with min 1 GB memory and
50GB disk space.
2. A lustre setup 2.7.51 up and running on the above VM, in my case all
lustre components are configured on the same VM .
3. I have added 2 extra MDTs of 20 GB each to the lustre setup, the MDTs were configured on two loop devices.
===================================
Steps to reproduce the issue :
===================================
1. run dd command to generate some IO on the lustre filesystem .
( dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/lustre/test bs=512M count=10).
2. Once IOs are completed , stop Lustre filesystem , i had executed
lustrecleanup.sh script (../lustre-release/lustre/tests/llmountcleanup.sh)
to unmount/stop the lustre.
3.Then I had unmounted those two extra MDTs manually using command
< umount -f /mnt/mds2>
< umount -f /mnt/mds3>
4.Later when I remounted the lustre with llmount.sh script , Lustre got mounted successfully. But as Soon as I tried to bring back those two loop devices on which previously both the MDTs were configured , started throwing "device is busy" message.
=========================
Busy message on the command prompt when I wanted to bring back two additional MDTs on the same loops devices used before for MDTs)
------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost ~]# losetup /dev/loop7 /home/MGS_MDT
losetup: /dev/loop7: device is busy
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# losetup /dev/loop6 /home/MGS_MDT3
losetup: /dev/loop6: device is busy

Unmounting Lustre:
===================
[root@localhost ~]# sh /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/Lustre-New-Test/workspace/default/lustre-release/lustre/tests/llmountcleanup.sh

Unmounting the additional MDTs
==============================
[root@localhost ~]# umount -f /mnt/mds2
[root@localhost ~]# umount -f /mnt/mds3
[root@localhost ~]#
====================================================

Mounting the Lustre again :
=========================
[root@localhost ~]# sh /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/Lustre-New-Test/workspace/default/lustre-release/lustre/tests/llmount.sh
