Why am I getting a message that there was a conflit in datafile and plot sub-options?
This message is related to lustre data, which uses the -O switch in collectl to specify additional data such as rpc-buffers, metadata, readahead or disk block I/O counts. If one requests a plot of one of these and that data doesn’t exist in the file, this message will be produced. This is an exception to the earlier comment about silently ignoring plots because these are rarer and so harder to diagnose without the message when they occur.
