This succeeded, but failed when the MDT was mounted:</p> <div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent"> <pre>mount -t lustre /dev/vg_sookie/lvmdt2 /mnt/mds2 mount.lustre: missing option mgsnode=&lt;nid&gt; </pre> </div></div> <p>This should really be a required option for mkfs.lustre, since no target is usable without this.</p> LU-4227

mkfs.lustre allows formatting without --mgsnode

The initial step would initialize ldiskfs, and the second step would assign the index, NIDs, mgsnode, etc, and then register it with the MGS. </p> <p>patch tracking at: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/8387" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/8387</a></p> <p>The patch landed to 2.6.</p> Development Rank 1|hzw8dz: Rank (Obsolete) 11511 Severity
