I was wondering because while looking at the man page for mkfs.lustre I saw the below \
option:
--replace
Used to initialize a target with the same --index as a previously \
used target if the old target was permanently lost for some reason (e.g. multiple \
disk failure or massive corruption). This avoids
having the target try to register as a new target with the MGS.
w/r,
Kurt

I know you'd need to keep the config files, directory structures, etc. How much of \
that info you need to keep around, I'm not 100% sure.
To get the MGS to accept it again, you may have to unmount and run tunefs.lustre \
--writeconf on all the targets.

Hello,
I had a quick question about recreating osts... If I drain all the files off an \
ost can I just reformat it and have it added back into lustre, in essence reusing the \
same index? The server wouldn't change. Or would I have to preserve its \
configuration files?
w/r,
Kurt
