People, despite all the doubts I thought it would be a good idea to start configuring something so I decided to go for the mdt+mgs server first (later i''ll need to ask some things in order to configure an mds failover: is it only the mds which i need to back up, or also mdt? what about mgs?) mkfs.lustre isn''t in my path (not for my user nor for root). I tried running /usr/sbin/mkfs.lustre but the script won''t work cause it can''t find mkfs.ext2 sould mkfs.ext2 be already installed in my server? should i install it myself? should have the installer added /usr/sbin to my path? given it didn''t, should i add it myself? Thanks, ra
Yes, while you are installing lustre you should probably have /sbin/ and /usr/sbin in your path. Check to see if /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext2 exists.

A lustre-specific version is available on the Sun download site. cliffw
