Description

I'm testing with lustre-1.8.6.60 for early 1.8.7 testing.
mkfs.lustre failed and got the following errors when I added "-E stride=32 -E stripe-width=256" to --mkfsoptions.

mkfs.lustre --reformat --ost --param ost.quota_type=ug2 --fsname=lustre --mkfsoptions="-E stride=32 -E stripe-width=256" --mgsnode=192.168.10.120@o2ib /dev/mpath/ost00

Permanent disk data:

Index: unassigned
Lustre FS: lustre
Mount type: ldiskfs

Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,extents,mballoc
Parameters: ost.quota_type=ug2 mgsnode=192.168.10.120@o2ib

device size = 14934016MB
mkfs.lustre: don't specify multiple -E options

mkfs.lustre FATAL: mkfs failed 22
mkfs.lustre: exiting with 22 (Invalid argument)

Without these options, mkfs.lustre works well.

just use "--mkfsoptions="-E stride=32,stripe-width=256" will work.

Ah, sorry, I figured out.
mkfs.lustre in 1.8.7 was changed a littile bit to support -E lazy_journal_init for the quick format.
--mkfsoptions="-E stride=32,stripe-width=256" works, instaed of multipul "-E" options.

Please close this ticket.
