Evening

A mistake was made during the addition of 1 oss (2 ost's) to our online lustre file system.

The ost was formatted with

mkfs.lustre --ost --mgsnode=172.29.0.251 --fsname=l1 --index 14 --mkfsoptions="-T largefile -m 0.5 -E stride=16,stripe-width=160" /dev/sdb


and then mounted... and then quickly unmounted... and then reformatted with the same command and then attempted to be remounted...

We now have a hung file system.

on the mds I see

Mar 12 13:38:09 mds kernel: LustreError: 140-5: Server l1-OST000e requested index 14, but that index is already in use. Use --writeconf to force

now what should I do?  Bring everything down, writeconf all the servers and bring everything back up?  reformat the ost? lfs df -h on a client is showing

OST000e             : inactive device

Thanks.
