When upgrading from Lustre 1.8 to 2.1, if the parameter root_squash is set, Lustre throws an error and denies mounting the filesystem. It's necessary to completely delete the parameter

The new parameter is called "mdt.root_squash" (note underscore).</p> <p>This was done similarly for the quota configuration in <a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-110" title="Allow the use of a 2.0 MDS on a filesystem with a 1.8 disk format" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="LU-110"><del>LU-110</del></a> (<a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/354" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/354</a>).</p> <p>YuJian</p> <p>Could you please look into this one?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Peter</p> <p>The old "mdt.nosquash_nid" parameter also needs to be renamed to "mdt.nosquash_nids".</p> <p>Patch for master branch: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/2680" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/2680</a></p> <blockquote><p>Patch for master branch: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/2680" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/2680</a></p></blockquote> <p>The above patch was landed on master branch.</p> <p>Here is the patch for b2_1 branch: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/3237" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/3237</a>.</p> <p>The patches have been landed on master and b2_1 branches.</p> <p>The remaining work on this ticket is to improve the patch on master branch to handle more parameters as per the suggestion from Andreas on <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/3237" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/3237</a> :</p> <blockquote> <p>File lustre/mdt/mdt_handler.c<br/> Line 4779: strlen(CFG_NOSQUASH_NID_OLD)) == 0 &amp;&amp;<br/> If this list gets any longer (which I suspect it will, due to Di's patch <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/1418" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/1418</a> to split the MDT thread handling) then this should be modified to use an array of { "old", "new" } parameters, and if "new" is NULL then the parameter is obsolete and discarded. Then, the above code will just be a loop comparing the parameter against each "old" entry, and ending the loop if it matched, or "old" is NULL.</p> <p>I don't insist on this today, but since the code is already being changed, and will need to change again in the near future, it would be better to just get it right for the long term.</p></blockquote> <blockquote><p>The remaining work on this ticket is to improve the patch on master branch to handle more parameters as per the suggestion from Andreas.</p></blockquote> <p>Patch for master branch: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/3836" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/3836</a></p> <p>Patch for b2_1 branch: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/3900" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/3900</a></p> <p>The one for master branch has been landed and also cherry-picked on b2_3 branch.</p> <p>Please reopen ticket if there is additional work needed.</p> Related LU-2308 Development Rank 1|hzv5pj: Rank (Obsolete) 4459 Severity
