Are you perhaps running the "lctl get_param" as a non-root user? One of the wonderful quirks of the kernel is that they don't want new parameters stored in procfs, and they don't want "complex" parameters (more than one value) stored in sysfs, so by necessity this means anything "complex" needs to go into debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug) but that was changed at some point to only be accessible by root. As such, you need to be root to access any of the "complex" parameters/stats: $ lctl get_param mdd.*.lfsck_layout error: get_param: param_path 'mdd/*/lfsck_layout': No such file or directory $ sudo lctl get_param mdd.*.lfsck_layout mdd.myth-MDT0000.lfsck_layout= name: lfsck_layout magic: 0xb1732fed version: 2 status: completed flags: param: all_targets last_completed_time: 1694676243 time_since_last_completed: 4111337 seconds latest_start_time: 1694675639 time_since_latest_start: 4111941 seconds last_checkpoint_time: 1694676243 time_since_last_checkpoint: 4111337 seconds latest_start_position: 12 last_checkpoint_position: 4194304 first_failure_position: 0 success_count: 6 repaired_dangling: 0 repaired_unmatched_pair: 0 repaired_multiple_referenced: 0 repaired_orphan: 0 repaired_inconsistent_owner: 0 repaired_others: 0 skipped: 0 failed_phase1: 0 failed_phase2: 0 checked_phase1: 3791402 checked_phase2: 0 run_time_phase1: 595 seconds run_time_phase2: 8 seconds average_speed_phase1: 6372 items/sec average_speed_phase2: 0 objs/sec real_time_speed_phase1: N/A real_time_speed_phase2: N/A current_position: N/A $ sudo ls /sys/kernel/debug/lustre/mdd/myth-MDT0000/ total 0 0 changelog_current_mask 0 changelog_users 0 lfsck_namespace 0 changelog_mask 0 lfsck_layout Getting an update to the manual to clarify this requirement would be welcome.
