Re: [HPDD-discuss] Recovering a failed OST

Google first, ask later. I found this in the manuals: 26.3.4 Fixing a Bad LAST_ID on an OST The procedures there spell out pretty well what I must do, so this should be relatively straight forward. But, does this comment refer to just this OST, or to all OST? *Note - *The file system must be stopped on all servers before performing this procedure. So, is this the best approach to follow, allowing for the fact that there is nothing at all left on the OST, or is there a better short cut to choosing an appropriate LAST_ID?
