Hi,

Lustre operation manual says that recommended values for lru_size parameter are in neighborhood of 1000 per osc and 2500 per mdc on interactively used client node.
Also it states.
Increasing this on a large number of client nodes is not recommended (this parameter controls locks cached on the client), though servers have been tested with up to 150,000 total locks (num_clients * lru_size).

My question is why not bigger values? What determines the max lru_size.
I would like to be able to determine what is the biggest number of lru_size I can set on a fixed number of interactive clients (login nodes) with fixed number of osc's and mdc's.

I found this thread where Oleg Drokin suggests to set lru_size to 41000 (this is an old thread though). So it is significantly bigger value then one recommended in the manual.
