Recent kernel versions and Lustre: support and status
by Alexey Shvetsov
Hi all!
I collected patches needed to run lustre servers with zfs backstorage on
linux 3.11. What is the status for more recent kernels?

Lester, the Lustre lister
by David Dillow
I'd like to announce the availability of Lester, the Lustre lister. It
is available from github at https://github.com/ORNL-TechInt/lester
Lester is an extension of (n)e2scan for generating lists of files (and
potentially their attributes) from a ext2/ext3/ext4/ldiskfs filesystem.
We primarily use it for generating a purge candidate list, but it is
also useful for generating a list of files affected by an OST outage or
providing a name for an inode.
For example, to list files that have not been accessed in two weeks and
put the output in ne2scan format in $OUTFILE:
touch -d 'now - 2 weeks' /tmp/flag
lester -A fslist -a before=/tmp/flag -o $OUTFILE $BLOCKDEV
To do the same thing, but generate a full listing of the filesystem in
parallel:
touch -d 'now - 2 weeks' /tmp/flag
lester -A fslist -a before=/tmp/flag -a genhit=$UNACCESSED_LIST
\
-o $FULL_LIST $BLOCKDEV
To name inodes to stdout (when not using Lustre 2.4's LINKEA):
lester -A namei -a $INODE1 -a $INODE2 ... $BLOCKDEV
To get a list of files with objects on OSTs 999 and 1000:
lester -A lsost -a 999 -a 1000 -o $OUTFILE $BLOCKDEV
To get a list of options and actions, use 'lester -h'; to get a list of
options for a given action, use 'lester -A $ACTION -a help'.
Lester uses its own AIO-based IO engine by default, which is usually
much faster than the default Unix engine for large filesystems on
high-performance devices. The number of requests in flight, request
size, cache size, and read-ahead settings for various phases of the scan
are all configurable. I recommend experimenting with the settings to
find a balance between speed and resource usage for your situation.
More information about the gains we've seen in testing prototype version
of Lester are in my LUG 2011 presentation,

The e2fsprogs git tree tagging is out of date
by Jay Lan
Hi,
Your web site showed the latest el6/RPMS/x86_64 e2fsprogs
version is 1.42.7-wc2-7.
However, the latest tag in the git repo seemed to me is v1.42.7.wc1.
Which commit is 1.42.7-wc2-7 tagged to ?
Thanks,

Re: [HPDD-discuss] directories inaccessible after upgrade to, 2.4.2 (OI scrub missing)
by Chris Hunter
We saw similar behaviour after a MDT upgrade from 1.8.9 to 2.1.5, but
somewhat different error messages. We discovered we have to synchronize
user uids & group gids between our clients and MDT servers to honour
file ownership and access controls.

directories inaccessible after upgrade to 2.4.2 (OI scrub missing)
by Frederik Ferner
All,
we have got a test file system which had been created with Lustre 1.8
(or even 1.6), then briefly updated to 2.3, 2.4.1 and now to 2.4.2. On
this file system we now have a few directories that are inaccessible
after the latest upgrade. I believe they were accessible when we were
still running 2.4.1 but I'm not sure.
All clients are currently running 1.8.9.
Trying to ls one of the directories does generate an error on the
command line, but nothing in any of the system logs that I could find.
[bnh65367@p60-storage ~]$ ls -l /mnt/play01 |grep p60
ls: cannot access /mnt/play01/p45: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /mnt/play01/p60: No such file or directory
d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? p60
[bnh65367@p60-storage ~]$ ls -l /mnt/play01/p60
ls: cannot access /mnt/play01/p60: No such file or directory
[bnh65367@p60-storage ~]$
Trying to touch one of the missing directories results in this on the
MDS and an input output error on the client command line.
Feb 11 19:13:23 cs04r-sc-mds02-03 kernel: LustreError:
14367:0:(mdt_open.c:1694:mdt_reint_open()) play01-MDT0000: name p60
present, but fid [0x45828f:0x7f3b41ef:0x0] invalid
I'm currently trying to understand if this is something that is
expected? Something we're likely to see if we upgrade directly from 1.8
to 2.4.2 on our production file systems? And of course we need to fix
it. To me it looks like LU-3934 could be related, though if I understand
that bug correctly, it should be fixed? Maybe it'll fix itself (by
automatically starting OI scrub?)?
Is this sufficiently different from LU-3934 and unexpected that I should
open a new ticket?
The file system has been upgrade a few hours ago, lctl get_param
'osd-ldiskfs.\*.oi_scrub on the MDS reports the status init for both MDT
and MGT (see below), does this mean it hasn't been started and I should
start it? How would I start it?
sudo lctl get_param 'osd-ldiskfs.\*.oi_scrub'
