Well, definitely, creating a new, bigger MDS is one sure fire way to go. This includes a backup, re-create (of the existing MDS) and restore operation. Be careful with it though. It seems lots of people have trouble with it. Measure twice and cut once at every step. > I am also having a hard time finding > information about this (I wish PDF text was searchable). PDF is searchable. It is in evince at least. Why do you need to search PDF to get information about this? > I tried to grow the MDT +50G with the following: > > # lvextend -L +50G /dev/vg-localdisk/mdt > Extending logical volume mdt to 90.00 GB > Logical volume mdt successfully resized Oh, it's on an LV?

I don't recall if I've tried to resize a recently created lustre target. I know I resized one several times not that long ago, but it's lineage was ancient so it wouldn't have had new features on it like uninit groups. I also don't recall if resize2fs actually adds inodes or not. > Didn't seem to work.

Maybe slightly bigger if you are paranoid. > (can't get it to grow to use the rest). > Of that 35G, 24G is still free but my inode limit is at 99% and I'm not > sure how to extend that. Well, short of hunting down the issue with resize2fs and uninit_groups, you could create a new LV for a new MDT and *carefully* copy your existing MDT to it. Be sure to copy EAs! This stuff is all in the manual and have been on this list many, many times. The archives are your friend. b.
