I have a Lustre server running Lustre 1.6.3. Yesterday, on the OST (RAID5), I had to
replace and rebuild a failed disk.
Since, when I mount the OST, I get the following message in the system logfile and the
system crashes with a kernel panic message.

Were the /dev/ assignments rearranged?
I tried to run fsck on the OST
fsck /dev/sdc1
and got the following message
fsck 1.40.11.sun1 (17-June-2008)
fsck: fsck.ext4: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/sdc1
Looks like fsck considers the filesystem as being an ext4 while it is an ext3. So I ran
e2fsck manually
e2fsck -y /dev/sdc1
which completed successfully except for this message: " Primary superblock features
different from backup".
I tried again to mount the OST with no success. The system still crashes with the kernel
panic message and the
same Lustre error message when trying to start OBD.
I get the following from tunefs.lustre:
tunefs.lustre /dev/sdc1
checking for existing Lustre data: found CONFIGS/mountdata
Reading CONFIGS/mountdata
Read previous values:

Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,extents,mballoc
Parameters: mgsnode=172.17.15.35@tcp
Permanent disk data:

Parameters: mgsnode=172.17.15.35@tcp
Writing CONFIGS/mountdata
Can it be a superblock corruption?
