[LU-5582] mount.lustre failed due to presence of MGC entry after initial failed mount attempt

Related — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:59:27 +0000

Lustre 2.4 clients initially failed to mount the Sonexion Lustre filesystem due to IB issues. Then subsequent mount attempts failed due to the presence of an MGC entry left behind by the failed mount attempt.

Here is the log from a client for the initial failed mount attempt:

After the initial failed mount attempt, the IB issues were fixed, but the subsequent mount attempts failed. mount.lustre reported "File exists." Here are the log messages on a client.

This error persisted on the client until it was rebooted. It looks like the initial mount failure left around a bad device entry, causing future mounts of this fs to fail.
