[LU-473] Improve error message when 2.x client tries to mount 1.8 server

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:53:10 +0000

When a 2.x client is trying to mount a 1.8 server filesystem, it fails with obscure error messages:

dmesg shows the following:

I've already filed ~~LU-458~~ and ~~LU-459~~ to silence the spurious error messages from every mount, but it would be good to have a proper error message that the client is not compatible with the server, instead of just failing after a bunch of garbage error message.

The message "Lustre: Server IDADTS-MDT0000_UUID version (1.8.4.0) is much older. Consider upgrading this client (2.0.62)" is almost correct, but it doesn't state the right thing, and compatibilty shouldn't be related to the version numbers, but rather the feature flags.
