Lustre discuss - Oct 2009 - lfsck

I am running lfscks on my file systems right now. Once they finished I would
like to re run lfscks to make sure that all problems were cleaned. Do you
know if I need to rebuild mdsdb and ostdbs for the second lfsck run? I can
see that lfsck change timestamps on db files so maybe I don''t have to
rebuild them? I can''t find anything about that in the manual or mailing
list.

Cheers

Wojciech

You need to re-create the databases from Lustre to verify the cleanup.
