There are more references listed on pages above.
Since 0.6.3 the possible work around can be to set zfs xattr=sa but that does
not help with existing files on OST.

P.S. Apparently there's more than one way to leak the space.

It can be zfs snapshot holding space on ost.
Or, it can be zfs issue, zfs not releasing space until reboot. Check zfs bugs
on zfs wiki.
Lustre shows change in OST used space right away.
zfs 0.6.3 is pretty old. We are using 0.6.4.1 with lustre 2.5.3. (there is
zfs 0.6.4.2)
You may need to patch lustre 2.5.3 to go with some zfs 0.6.5.x; patches were
listed on this mail list.

Hi all,
one of our ((Lustre 2.5.3, ZFS 0.6.3) OSTs got filled up to >90%, so I
deactivated it and am now migrating files off of that OST.
Checking the list of files I am currently using, I can verify that the
migration is working: Lustre tells me that the top of the list is already on
some other OSTs, the bottom of the list still resides on the OST in question.
But when I do either 'lfs df' or 'df' on the OSS, and don't see any change in
terms of bytes, while the migrated files already sum up to several GB.
Is this a special feature of ZFS, or just a symptom of a broken OST?
I think I have seen this behavior before, and the "df" result shrank to an
expected value after the server had been rebooted. In that case, this seems
more like a too persistent caching effect -?
Cheers,
Thomas
